A couple things Gus. Make sure the engine is cold when opening the fill cap or you could get burned. I had coolant spray me in the face one time when opening the fill cap when it was hot. If you fill the reservoir to the upper line when the motor is cold, won't it overflow when the engine heats up? On cars usually there are markings on the reservoir that state the level when hot or cold. Usually when the motor is cold, you fill it to the lower mark.

Hi, I'm adding coolant to my 500 for the first time (but not draining). Do I add coolant through the radiator cap or straight into the reserve tank?

Hi There! Yes, it is premixed, so no worries there. You will need to get 2 bottles as 1 isn't enough. I would estimate that i only used a 1/3 of the second bottle.

@@doom3crazy that is the easiest way to get it cleaned out, it's a pain to remove it tbh. After draining it, pour distilled water in the tank and use the syringe to pull it out. But it is your bike, it's totally your call brother. Just be sure that the tube is very small as the neck leading to the tank is flat and narrow. Keep in mind that the manual states that you have to remove the tank and clean, to be transparent with you, and I am not a trained mechanic brother.
