TGB Blade

Coolant capacity & service interval

TGB Blade coolant capacity ranges from 0,42 to 2,6 liters. Service intervals require changes every 12000 km or 12 months. The data covers 5 configurations.

The configuration chart below lists fill volumes and service intervals for each engine and trim variant.

Additional Notes

  • The TGB Blade 1000 V-Twin cooling system separates its capacity into two figures: 2.6 liters for the combined radiator and engine fill, and 1.1 liters for the reservoir. The radiator-plus-engine figure represents the primary circuit volume, while the reservoir holds the overflow and expansion fluid independently.
  • The Blade 250 carries the smallest total cooling system capacity across all listed configurations at 1.2 liters, with a reservoir capacity of 0.42 liters. The gap between the reservoir and total figures reflects the volume held within the radiator and engine passages themselves.
  • The Blade 250 is the only configuration in the listed specifications that includes a defined coolant change interval, set at 12,000 km or 12 months under normal use conditions, whichever comes first. No equivalent interval appears in the specifications for any other Blade variant.
  • The Blade 425/400, Blade 460/500, and Blade 525/550 all share identical cooling system capacities: 2.2 liters for the radiator-plus-engine circuit and 1.2 liters for the reservoir. Despite differences in engine displacement across these three variants, the cooling system volume remains consistent.
  • The Blade 1000 V-Twin reservoir capacity of 1.1 liters is slightly lower than the 1.2-liter reservoir figure shared by the Blade 425/400, 460/500, and 525/550 variants, even though the 1000 V-Twin carries a notably larger primary circuit volume of 2.6 liters compared to the 2.2 liters of those mid-range configurations.
  • The Blade 460/500 and Blade 525/550 share the same cooling system specifications as the Blade 425/400 despite entering the specifications from 2011, one year after the 425/400. All three use a 2.2-liter radiator-plus-engine capacity and a 1.2-liter reservoir under normal use conditions.
