Where to check coolant level on a fully faired FZ6 S2

[FZ6AH]

Hi,

Can someone tell me where the coolant check window is on a fully faired fz6 s2? Ive checked the the manual but this only shows it in on a naked bike.

Do i need to take the fairing off to view the coolant level window?

Thanks in advance

You mentioned "Fully faired".. Perhaps someone added side fairings...(not stock)


The overflow coolant tank is just behind the header, right side(see below pic).

You have to look close but the lines on the plastic tank are located inbetween the black steel bracket that secures the overflow tank. Fill inbetween the lines after removing the cap

The radiator cap (2nd pic) is on the right side with a locking (bolt and odd nut) should you do a change (just below the lower mid section of the front fairing).

Looks as though i have some after market fairings on my bike which will need to be removed in order for me to gain access to the coolant level check window

Hard to tell from that angle but it does appear to have aftermarket fairings added on.

You may be able to see the level peeking thru the fairing now that you know where the coolant tank is.. :thumbup:

Hi, I don't know if your bike is similar to mine. I have a Yamaha lower fairing which does make it difficult to see the coolant level, also on my bike its not easy to actually see the level in the window. (several times when checking I thought it was well near the upper limit) What I now do is to remove the rubber cap and dip the reservoir.

Interesting. On my 04 the overflow coolant tank is right under where the tank meets the seat. Learned something new today.
