A quick way to check the coolant level on a F800 GS is shining a torch from the front right shock arm into the bottom of the collant housing. If you then look from the top of the bike (the gap right-under the steering handle) you can easily see the liquid inside the housing. You can take off the lid as well.
Great tips! Im changing coolant on 700 and 800 GS, I'm guessing you did not top your overflow bottle until after air was all burped out? The part # for new o-ring for lower coolant lines for 2014 and 2015 is #11117694729
I just changed the coolant and follow the step that you show us, but when I tried to squeeze the hose and get the air bubble out. I can feel some coolant in the lower hose but I don't actually feel any coolant in the top hose. that normal?
Great snappy how to. Much appreciated.
Thanks for the quick video! Would appreciate a way for quickly checking the coolant level

Correct, topping off the bottle was pretty much the last thing I did.
