Step-by-Step Guide

1. Preparation

Ensure the bike is on a stable surface and the engine is cool to prevent burns. Wear safety gloves to protect your hands.

2. Draining the Old Coolant

Locate the coolant drain bolt on the engine. Place a drain pan underneath and use a socket wrench to remove the bolt. Allow the old coolant to fully drain into the pan.

3. Flushing the System

To ensure all old coolant is removed, flush the system with distilled water. Reinstall the drain bolt temporarily, fill the radiator with distilled water, and run the engine for a few minutes. Turn off the engine and remove the drain bolt again to let the water drain out.

4. Refilling with New Coolant

Once the system is flushed, reinstall the drain bolt securely. Use a funnel to pour the new coolant into the radiator until it reaches the appropriate level. Check the coolant reservoir and fill it to the recommended level as well.

5. Bleeding the System

Start the engine and let it idle for a few minutes. This helps remove any air pockets in the system. Check the coolant level again and top off if necessary.

6. Final Checks

Inspect for any leaks around the drain bolt and radiator cap. Tighten if necessary. Clean any spilled coolant with a clean cloth.
