Sounds pretty silly, I know, but I pulled off the right fairing, and I still cannot for the life of me find that bloody reservoir! I ride a 2002 Suzuki GSX750F Katana, and while it doesn't seem to be having issues with heat or anything, I'm not terribly comfortable running around without an eye on my fluids. I figured it would be near the radiator, but I don't see any kind of sight glass or a cap I can open to add more. I do not have a service or owner's manual for the bike (standard fare for private sale), but you'd think that the coolant reservoir would be a bit more obvious than that. Any suggestions on where to find it?

//EDIT: You know, the thought just struck me that the engine oil may be used as a coolant, requiring no coolant reservoir. This explains why the lines from the radiator go back into the engine block. Does this sound right to anyone?

Yes correct the Katana is air/oil cooled so there are no radiators or coolant resevoir.

Oil cooler, radiator. Potato, Potato.

I said the last two words the same way in my head really quickly and free associated harley.
