How to Change the Coolant in a 2022 Beta XTRAINER
Shop parts for a 2022 Beta XTRAINER Dirt Bike.
Routine coolant changes ensure your 2022 Beta Xtrainer runs efficiently and reliably. This guide will walk you through the process based on specific model requirements and important considerations unique to the Xtrainer.
Safety Precautions
- The coolant used (ethylene glycol) is poisonous and may irritate the skin. Wear gloves and avoid ingestion. If coolant contacts skin, wash immediately.
- Work in a ventilated space and properly dispose of old coolant.
Required Tools & Supplies
- Flathead screwdriver
- Socket wrench set
- Catch container (1.5L capacity)
- Fresh coolant (recommended: pre-diluted ethylene glycol, capacity: 1.3L)
Step-by-Step Coolant Change Process
-
Remove Necessary Components
Remove the exhaust expansion chamber and silencer for better access if needed. This step is especially useful for thorough draining and inspection. -
Access the Radiators
Remove the radiator cap to release system pressure. -
Drain Existing Coolant
Locate the cooling system drain screw (refer to the lowest point in the system). Place your catch container below and loosen the screw to allow coolant to fully drain.
Note: The 2022 Xtrainer does not use a radiator bleeder screw like older Betas–draining from the designated screw is effective for complete fluid removal. -
Disconnect Radiator Hoses (Optional)
For a more thorough flush, you may disconnect water hoses from the engine and radiator. Inspect hoses for cracks, fraying or wear—consider replacement if issues are found. -
Reconnect and Prepare for Filling
Ensure all hoses are securely attached and the drain plug is tightened. -
Refill with New Coolant
Pour fresh coolant into the radiator slowly. Fill to just above the radiator fins, not to the top of the neck. This allows for expansion and proper circulation. -
Bleed and Circulate Coolant
Unlike older bikes with dedicated bleeder screws, circulation and topping off is achieved by gently rocking the bike and running the engine for 10 minutes. This circulates coolant through the system and releases trapped air. -
Check Coolant Level
After circulating, let the bike cool, then re-check the level. Top off if needed so coolant sits just above the radiator fins. -
Inspect for Leaks
Start the engine and observe for leaks around hose connections, the radiators, and drain plug.
What to Know About the 2022 Xtrainer
- The coolant system capacity is 1.3L—do not overfill.
- No bleeder screw on the radiator—newer Beta models rely on running the engine and re-checking the level versus manual bleeding.
- Inspect the water pump and impeller for wear during coolant service. Check seals and gaskets if the pump is removed.
- Use only quality ethylene glycol-based coolants: avoid mixing types and always observe proper disposal procedures.
Pro Tips
- Always let the engine fully cool before loosening the radiator cap to avoid scalding.
- Routine coolant changes should be performed yearly or any time the coolant appears dirty or contaminated.
- Inspect hoses and clamps for wear—these are common points of leak and failure.
