How To Service Your Motorcycling Cooling System | The Shop Manual

Just like your engine oil and brake fluid, your bike’s coolant needs to be replaced at regular intervals, typically every two years. In this episode of TSM, Ari walks you through the process from start to finish.

    Some bikes (maybe old ones only idk), come with a coolant filter apparently, so as you say check the workshop manual. But one thing I think is worthwhile doing since you said about checking hoses, wiping them down with some silicone grease will help prevent them drying off prematurely. I do the same on the tyre walls, it makes the tyres look great and prevents drying out if like me you like to use brake cleaner to clean the wheels of oil. I use silicone grease on many other rubber components for the same reason, you can get it in spray cans as well as tubes and tins.

    I change out my coolant once per year. Therefore never any residue remaining in the plastic overflow tank. For most liquid cooled bike owners who rarely change out the coolant, they will definitely need to remove the plastic overflow tank and clean it out. The residue if left in the tank clinging to the plastic will continue to build up in time resulting in continued build-up and less natural coolant flow. Dean Seattle

    Propylene versus Ethylene:- I bought a 2011 VFR800. I thought it was running hot at low speeds, so I flushed it and refilled with propylene glycol. It ran the same, so six months later when It came time for a service I used ethylene. Its much cooler now. The bike has small side radiators and I guess it needs more airflow than it gets at low speeds. Ethylene is less viscus flows faster and cools better, so if your bike is marginal on cooling - Ethylene for the win.

    @RevZilla hey Ari. I love your videos and more than anything the CTXP series. The best I've ever watched to be honest. I have a small question 😅 I followed your guideline to replacing and flushing the coolant in my recently bought used 2010 Honda Transalp XL700V. Drained the coolant, filled with white vinegar and distilled water, let it run, drained, filled with distilled water again, let it run, drained and refilled with a coolant mixture. Now, unfortunately I did all the cycles with a closed thermostat because I didn't let the engine warm up to the temperature it would open according to the shop manual and therefore only an incomplete drain, apparently the thermostat held a suction on the engine coolant path and retained about a fifth of the total. Now I'm paranoid that I still might have traces of vinegar left over in the system that could do damage over time on the seals and the hoses 😅😅😅 and with the transalp, flushing the coolant is a real pain of taking off the side fairings and the undercowl. Should I flush again? Thanks and hopefully many more adventures from you and Zack!
