What You'll Need
- Fresh coolant (ensure it is compatible with aluminum motorcycle engines & contains anti-corrosive properties)
- Basic hand tools: socket set, Phillips screwdriver, pliers
- Drain pan
- Funnel
- Gloves & shop rags
- Distilled water (for optional flush)
Step-by-Step Coolant Change Guide
- Preparation
- Park your bike on a stable, level surface and allow the engine to cool fully to avoid burns.
- Remove the seat using the quick-release feature, and access the radiator cap from the right side–the 2024 Race Edition makes access easier thanks to its ergonomic frame and bodywork.
- Drain the Old Coolant
- Position a drain pan beneath the water pump area.
- Locate the coolant drain bolt on the water pump cover (usually the lowest bolt).
- Loosen and remove the drain bolt, then open the radiator cap to allow coolant to flow out completely.
- Inspect & Optional Flush
- If the existing coolant is dirty or the bike has seen heavy use, flush the system by refitting the drain bolt and pouring distilled water into the radiator, then drain again to remove any contaminants.
- Refit Components
- Reinstall the drain bolt securely (recommended to use a torque wrench at manufacturer-recommended specification).
- Ensure the radiator cap is set aside for now.
- Fill with New Coolant
- Insert a funnel into the radiator opening and slowly add your chosen coolant until it reaches just below the lower rim of the fill neck.
- The 2024 350 RR Race Edition cooling system should take approximately 1.4 liters of coolant.
- Bleed Air from the System
- Tilt the bike slightly left and right to help any trapped air escape.
- Squeeze the radiator hoses to further dislodge bubbles.
- Top off the coolant as needed.
- Secure the System
- Reinstall the radiator cap tightly.
- Reattach the seat using the quick-release mechanism.
- Test & Check
- Start the engine and let it idle. Monitor for leaks and keep an eye on the coolant level through the fill neck or reservoir as the thermostat opens.
- Once the engine is up to temperature, shut it down, allow it to cool, and recheck the coolant level, topping off if needed.
Important Model-Specific Notes for the 2024 Beta 350 RR Race Edition
- This model features a high-compression (13.2:1) engine designed for aggressive riding, so temperature stability is crucial.
- The new frame and advanced KYB suspension keep the radiator and components well-protected but make sure to inspect for mud build-up that could affect cooling efficiency.
- Use only coolants certified for modern European motorcycles to prevent corrosion or seal damage in the aluminum system.
- Always wear safety equipment, and dispose of old coolant in accordance with local environmental regulations.
