-
mixture to the system,
through the filler opening in the radiator, until the
system is full. If the system has filled correctly
and fully, there should be coolant visible through
the bleed screw opening as well as in the filler
opening.
4.
If there is no coolant visible through the bleed
screw opening, but the filler side appears to be
full, attach a length of clear tubing to the bleed
screw spigot and syphon coolant into the bleed
screw side of the radiator.
Note:
*
A
hand operated vacuum pump or similar
should be used to syphon the coolant
through the system.

If necessary, top up the system through the filler
and refit the pressure cap.

Fit and tighten the bleed screw to
9
Nm.

9.
Start the motorcycle and allow the engine to idle
for a short period of time to allow any air to be
expelled from the system.
Do not remove the coolant pressure cap when the
engine is hot. When the engine is hot, the coolant
inside the cooling system is hot and also under
pressure. Contact with the pressurised coolant will
cause scalds and skin damage.

necessary.
11. Fit the coolant pressure cap and tighten its screw
to
