    Wow. That looks like a job for an experienced mechanic - not sure I would have the confidence to do it with my bike. Great video though!

      BMW love to make simple jobs as difficult as possible so you don't do them and they can charge a fortune for the repair 🤣

      @baden-baden  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Hi, la temperatura mas o menos 160 ⁰F y el tiempo aprox 5mins , pero tener cuidado que no llegue a temperatura extrema, es mejor dejar apagado el motor y que saque todas las burbujas posibles y revisar de nuevo el nivel correcto!

    Don't you know there is a coolant drain plug on the bottom of each cylinder?
    You have lots of remaining water in the cylinders when you don't open them and, later on, highly diluted antifreeze with a much higher freezing point.
    And the water remaining in your cooling system is hard tap water which leads to scale build-up in the cooling system.
    There's absolutely no point in removing the coolers and the thermostat. You just need to open the hose of the left cooler to remove the little bit of remaining water it holds.
    With this video you're misleading people and don't do them a favor.
    And I think you didn't do your GS a favor either with this work. She would, most likely, be better off with the old coolant.
    Sorry but I had to say that.

    You're supposed to dilute that not pour it in straight, it's concentrated, says that on the label.

      Hello and thanks for your comment, yes that is the easy way to get out all the air in the system or with a vacuum pump and compressed air, making sure is no air bubles .
      Thank you!

    When you flushed the engine block were you able to get all the tap water out before reassembly and coolant refill?

      I don't think a minute of water will cause any issues. It was filled with proper coolant later so any residue of water will be removed. Another story if refilled with tap water.
