Hi

Under the trim around the inside of the fiaring there is the filler for the header tank (from memory).

All the best

Radiator cap is under the fairing on the left hand side, if you turn the bars all the way to the right and pull back the fairing a little, you can fiddle the cap off without having to dismantle anything. Similar story for the expansion bottle at the other side. A funnel is handy to get the coolant in without getting it all over the plastics.

Fill the radiator to the brim, top up the expansion bottle so it is between the marks, run for a short while then top-up again.

For future reference, the coolant drain plug is a small hex head set-screw in the bottom of the water pump housing at the front right of the engine.

Thanks for the replies you were all close. it was under a small cover in the right side of the fairing infill panel. It did need a small amount of antifreeze.

Thanks for the help
Steve

Ah, it is the old model, pre '96. They had different plastics on them.
