- My bike is approximately 40,000 kms in mileage since I bought it back in 2019. The coolant was never changed since and now is the time.
Special thanks to Richkid Ohlie and Mac Autoworks in Taytay Rizal for the inputs.
Materials and tools needed:
- 4mm & 5mm hex screws for the fairings removal
- 8mm socket wrench for the Coolant Drain Bolt
- 10mm socket wrench for the Coolant Reservoir Holding Bolt
- Distilled water for flushing
- Ready to use coolant mix (Vic coolant) 1,200ml. Slowly fill up the reservoir and make sure that the levels between the low and high
- Drain pan
- Torque wrench for the coolant drain bolt, torque is 12Nm (optional but recommended to avoid over-tightening the bolt
You filled the coolant tank above the "Full" F-line. Based on the manual you should fill it till the F-line only. Maybe there will be some negative side effects if you overfill the coolant tank?
Hi, thank you for pointing that out. Yes I actually filled it above the F line initially and let it settled, the actual volume of coolant used was 1.2 Liters max
Do I need to fill the tank and the reservoir tank or just fill the reservoir tank? New to bikes about to change mine
@@samdavis1128 you can do both either, it doesn't matter as long as you fill it though filling the radiator first will save you a lot of time waiting for it to settle from the reservoir.
Thanks I did it that way. Thanks for the video
Thanks for sharing! I just got a Versys 2011 so I was just wondering about that! 👍
Glad to be of help
Nice video. Very efficient 👍👍
Glad you liked it!
Is that drip at the end normal from the plug?
Hi, no it is not normal. I actually tightened up the drain plug afterwards. If there are drips from the plug it means that the plug is not tight enough
