Coolant Deterioration Inspection
• Remove     the right fuel tank cover (see Fuel Tank Cover
  Removal in the Frame chapter).
• Visually  inspect the coolant in the reserve tank [A].
  If whitish cotton-like wafts are observed, aluminum parts
  in the cooling system are corroded. If the coolant is
  brown, iron or steel parts are rusting. In either case, flush
  the cooling system.
  If the coolant gives off an abnormal smell, check for a
  cooling system leak. It may be caused by exhaust gas
  leaking into the cooling system.
