I'm in cold weather with a 2006 KTM 950sm -- the seller was proud to have only put high-end products into it, like the rad fluid he told me was something called "Waterwetter" -- but after some research, is that an anti-freeze? It seems it's not. Can you confirm that? That means I need to flush asap!
I have yet to find a video where someone does this. I would love to know how any home-based mechanic rigs that up, cuz I have tried and failed, and it was sketchy.
Doesn't the manufacturer have you raise the front tire 20 inches and remove the cylinder head vent bolts during this?
I’m sure that helps, but eventually it should work its way out you would think. I’m planning on at least using my front stand.
This is not correct for a 1290 superduke r . You are meant to bleed the system by raising the front of the bike by 500 mm ?
Great choice of motorcycle.
On my 2013 RC8R should I be using the Motorex 3.0 or 5.0 coolant?

Water wetter is not an antifreeze.
You need to raise the front 50mm and also remove the bleed bolt on both cylinders before you refill with coolant on a superduke R
