2011 Kawasaki Concours 14: Coolant Flush and Fill

You don’t have to do a full flush unless you suspect or observe rust, scale or lime in the coolant.
Otherwise a simple coolant change is recommended every 3 years or 24k miles - whichever comes first.
*IMPORTANT* Always allow the bike to cool before draining the system!

1) Place bike on center stand
2) Remove the Top, Middle and Bottom Fairings (Left & Right)
Tools I used:
Ratchet (3/8" Drive)
6” Extension (3/8” Drive)
10mm Socket (3/8" Drive)
Phillips Screwdriver
Small Bucket and Funnel
Non-permanent (Blue) Threadlock
Fluids:
Kawasaki Aluma Cool Prediluted Engine Coolant (Green) - about 3.4 L (3.6 US qt)

2 Gallons Distilled Water

Nicely done. Makes a change to see people flushing well. I use 50/50 white vinegar and distilled water to flush. Works a treat. Great for descaling kettles too. 🇬🇧👍

Can you do a video on the spark plugs and fuel injectors. Currently doing all the maintenance on my bike and they're the next step. All your videos have been a huge help appreciate them!

I think your voiceover might be better than music. Thank you for the video

[@cruisecontrol808]

I agree; however, I wanted to spare you guys from listening to my inconsiderate neighbors rambling and their shrieking spawns.

Thanks very much for taking time to do this! Very well edited too. What was your mileage when you did your plugs? Recall?

[@cruisecontrol808]

Thank you! Spark Plugs were replaced at 53,440 - not sure if the previous owner replaced them.
