going to change coolant and replace with premixed ready to use oat stuff,no sign of a drainplug so is it just removal of lowest hose drain open rad cap etc then hose flush refill,no videos i can find and handbook says go to dealer i think not thanks.
will get torch tommorow and take bike out garage unusual to not find any guides or videos,should say its 2011 model any pics ive seen all show bottom hose removed.
Speed triple coolant is drained by removing the pipe at its lowest point Undo the banjo, pull the tube off and it will drain Remove the radiator cap to help There is also a drain screw that needs removing (and washer iirc) this is at the base of cyclinder 1 behind the exhaust, this releases the coolant in the cylinder head.
Just a tip for refilling. I always pour the coolant in very slowly, to avoid air locks forming. Others have experienced this and found the air difficult to get out of the system. When I say slowly, I mean real slow, and also remove screw at top of radiator on the right hand side. This allows air to escape.
What type of washer is used with the drain screw in the crankcase? Fibre? Copper? Rubber? & do you know a size Cheers in advance
Can't see any drain bolts but exhaust, just these (2016 speedy) Looked at manual ( 1st gen 1050) it just says take off bottom hose. Could someone take a pic of this bleed bolt
It is a copper washer Not sure of screw/bolt size, I think it is an 8mm bolt head so possibly 6mm hole for a washer
While I thank you I’ve been away from bike for over 8 weeks now,smashed my wrist in work still not got full movement or much strength so no spinning spammers for few weeks yet cheers buddy.
Ouch! I feel your pain buddy. I’ve been through similar (as my avatar shows) Hope the recovery is quicker than mine was, get well soon.
Kind words I am booking the bike in for mot on Friday have been out for a 20 mile run on private road,was not too bad struggled a bit with clutch but could get lever in enough for smooth gear changes,will just need to take it bit at a time and keep up the physio now that’s fecking painful l.o.l
