Motorcycle Maintenance Guide : How to Check Motorcycle Fluids

[K3KCT]

The fluid has to be poured before its 'Sell-by' date - this is often overlooked and can result in a rusting bell-end. It's better to do this AFTER washing your pants.

Also, NEVER wear your pants when you put them through a boil-wash.

You'll get miles of happy biking If you use the correct detergent on your old Norton pantyhose. ALWAYS park close to the half-past mark in a pay-as-you-go airport tea-room.

Can someone please help me. Basically my bikes radiator is liquid cooled so what do i have to fill it with like what type of liquid. Also can someone tell me whether its essential to drain it first or not after a change? and if it is can someone tell me how this is done

thanks in advance

[OneBillyTurner]

@Clewesy2010 As far as I 've been led to beleive the liquid is a mixture of 20% alc. 20% distilled water and 60% something else.

Is the rad positioned behind the rear wheel?

If so it is highly recommended that you drain HALF the rad when COOL before changing the fluid, then the remainder can be drained off safely after 600 mls.

Hope this helps.

..offer the pinion on to the drive – if it doesn’t spin-freely then you must relocate the loom and hand-feed it onto the escutcheon. Join part ‘A’ (spindle) and part ‘B’ (belt-drive) onto the rear-pulley leading from the fluted ball-joint-ends. The tensioner can now be removed.

Repeat the procedure and check that the McPherson-pump has been bled. Remove bike-supports during test-runs.

Remember: NEVER connect a snake-belt to a pillion passenger in wet-weather. Happy-Biking.

True that. He might say, "uh" a lot. But he is proficient in the knowledge of his craft and trade...

so uhh... I think that's what's really important here and what you should rate the video on... you didn't click it to grade him on the governing dynamics of being a good public speak... he is very easy to understand and I learned exactly what I wanted to know by clicking on his video.

Don't let the "Uh's" discredit his knowledge of the craft, thats all I'm sayin'

uhhh... later! ;)

[madmidget0015]

[Agbrooks89]

either one but coolant is better

[Grimpthecow]

if you use water be sure to add antifreeze

[rcjg24]
