    Jim fill no higher than half way between Min and Max...If you fill to Max as engine heats up it will blow out excess thru overflow...

    Default Depends..!

    I run it just below the max mark. Never had a problem and do ryde a lot of hot weather. Temp usually 5 bars or below. Prefer to spit a bit out than run out...

    It's not overly critical. As long as there is coolant in the reservoir your fine. To much coolant and it will "self adjust"....lol
