Re Filling Bikes Coolant
 
Is there any one particular way to ensure you have no air locks when Refilling the bikes coolant ? I had reason to drain the coolant out and now want to refill ,do i simply fill Rad and run bike then keep refilling until Rad doesn"t lose any water after running ? Are there any bleed screws for air locks

havent done the Ten yet but on prevoius bikes ive always made sure ive poured it in nice and slow so not to trap air.

Tenere is not easy as the filler is under the tank :011:

Hi Spen, no special method is required, to up the radiator while the bike is on the sidestand and also check the expansion tank is at the upper mark

the expansion tank should take care of any air trapped as it takes the excess coolant when the system heats up and when the system cools down it draws in coolant through the valve in the pressure cap to 'top up' the cooling system.

whats the story your bike draining the tank? mine never needs topping up since i replaced my busted radiator

Don"t ask i was F..king about and put a hole in the pipe between the pump and the bottom of the cylinder ,�5 for a 4 inch bit of pipe from Yamaha .I bought a meter length for �5 online ,so if anyone needs any . Will have to try to get a run out if it ever stops raining
