    Well those scrivets are in a place that makes it Very hard to "stop them spinning." The forward one came out no problem but the rear one spun just like you said and because of the tight space I had to Dremel it out. Other than that wasted hour (not your fault!) your instructions are brilliant. It was also a twofer because I was installing new turn signals and had to take them off anyway. Cheers!

    Note, it is NOT important to use silica-free coolant or any specific coolant for that matter. What IS important is not to mix types. As well as for removing scale and deposits, when changing coolant always fill with water, run engine to temp and drain. This dilutes any residual old coolant to almost just water. Then refill with whatever you like, the cheap old-style green ethylene glycol at 50/50 is actually excellent. While this method is more involved, it is also a more proper cooling system service. Cheers to the OP for showing us some tips and his system is clean enough for a drain-and-refill.

      I learned something new. Several Japanese cars (but especially Honda) had early water pump failure through the 2000's due to silicate antifreeze attacking their mechanical water pump seals. So, no reason not to use OAT (Organic Acid Technology) stuff from here on. I honestly have no idea whether Triumph uses conventional rubber or ceramic/carbon mechanical seals in its water pumps but at the high cost of replacement, I'd rather not find out. Many thanks.

    I guess it'd be an idea to precisely measure the old coolant you drain out so you know if you've filled every void when you put the same amount back in? My dealer said it's necessary to get the front wheel pretty high in order to bleed the system properly. Thanks for the video.

    • @TheSussexBiker

    Nice tutorial mate!! Can you let me know when does the fan suppose to kick in? (6 bars or more). I guess my fan is not kicking in at 6. Don't know if the issue is with fan or temperature sensors to kick in fan.
    Room temperature here is around 20-27 degree C.

      @TheSussexBiker  5 років тому +2

      Thanks for the comment and watching. I don't have this bike anymore but from memory the fan would kick in at around 6 to 7 bars. Check your fan is not seized/stuck maybe try running it to the 7th bar. You may need to plug into diagnostics to check the coolant temperature sensor reading.

    2. Is there an overflow under the tank high up (like the speed) or just the one below.
    3. How many bottles of coolant did you need.

    @nathanwickline4287 4 місяці тому

    Thanks for the video. Just a few questions the first video I watched on coolant change the tech flushed the system with distilled water before adding new coolant. Is that not really necessary or does it not matter? Also the bike they were working on was a first gen and it had a bleeder to get all the air pockets out of the system. I have a 3rd gen (2013) like yours so I'm wondering does it not have the bleeder or is it just easier to expell the air pockets out by squeezing all the hoses?

    • @TheSussexBiker
      @TheSussexBiker  4 місяці тому

      Hi thanks for watching and commenting. It's certainly good practice to flush a cooling system, I have useused distilled water because in my location (the south UK) the tap water has a chalk content and it's known as hard water, just me being over anal! The procedure in this video is based on the workshop manual and I'm pretty certain in there it actually tells you to tip the bike side to side from memory there is no bleeder, I wasn't going to do that , I an a vehicle (car) technician and I have always squeezed the hoses on cars and it's always worked for me hence why I did it in this video.
      If you have a search on the net you will find there are official workshop manuals out in the 'wild' or there used be at least.

    So is the reservoir supposed to have a certain level of coolant in it? I just noticed mine is sitting on the minimum line but I've never heard of topping up a coolant reservoir before especially on a motorcycle. I have heard of topping off your coolant but never the reservoir.

    • @TheSussexBiker
      @TheSussexBiker  5 років тому

      Yes you have a min and max so the coolant should be ideally just below the 'max' line-I followed the factory manual procedure it should also tell you in the owners handbook where the coolant level should be :)

It should be but check with the manufacturer.

Then when I let it run(15mins) to get the fan to start, the temp just wouldn't rise above the 5th bar. Is that normal? How long should I let it run?
    Thnx for the vid and for any help.

    • @TheSussexBiker

      Thanks for watching. From memory I think mine gets up to the sixth bar. Let the bike cool down and leave it overnight if possible with the rad cap off and correct the level if required. Make sure all hoses have got coolant in. Then try running it up again with the cap on.

    • @jameybreakstone
      @jameybreakstone 8 років тому

      Thanks for the quick response! I checked the level this morning and it was still full. Squeezed the hoses and tipped it from side to side. Started the engine, it took close to 15- 20 minutes for the sixth bar to show and the fan to come on. I guess the coolant is doing it's job, although you would think it should absorb heat faster. Who knows:-)Anyways, Thnx again for the vid and your input. I did a brake flush as well with the help of your vid. Waiting on your valve check vid, hehe!!!
