- Hopefully this video may help you save some money by doing your own coolant change on your 2013 Fireblade......took me about 1 1/2 days, as i had to let the engine cold down several times........It does cover all the things needed , hence why its 22 minutes!
MAY 2020 UPDATE: ONCE YOU HAVE PUT THE COOLANT IN AND AFTER YOU'VE ROCKED THE BIKE (21.30) WITH THE RADIATOR CAP OFF, START THE ENGINE WITH THE RADIATOR CAP OFF AND REV THE ENGINE, JUST TO HELP GET AIR OUT OF THE SYSTEM. THEN PUT THE RADIATOR CAP ON AS PER THE VIDEO.

If you want to flush these systems: remove radiator cap-remove drain bolt-drain coolant-install drain bolt with new washer-fill rad with recommended or equivalent coolant to fill line-remove rez cap and fill to upper line-start and run for 2-3 minutes-snap throttle 3-4 times-stop engine-add coolant to fill line at rad if necessary-install cap-fill rez to upper level if needed-install rez cap-done.
Long winded but excellent yet simple explanation of theory and practical....nice touch explaining the leftover litre too👍🏼
Hi thanks . Sometimes these things do drag on but it’s hard to keep the videos short without leaving stuff out if you know what I mean . Thanks for the comment . 😊
Thank you for talking about the extra liter in the radiator. I'm in the process of changing the coolant on my 05 repsol and I was doing the first flush and overflowed it with around 2 liters of water and I was really confused. Thank you for the great video!
Joshua S glad it helped . Stay safe and enjoy getting out whilst you still can. 😀
I've had my 2008 fireblade for 8 years with 57.000 kms on the clock riding in hot and cold weather, I've never changed the radiator fluid and I haven't had any issues with it but will change it soon.
Great work! Awesome video and nice bike. Love the Repsol.
Gr8 Video thanks...I am going to change the coolant on my Honda Vfr1200f this week & it has the same silly located expansion bottle...madness where Honda located it...I must locate a 5mm tube this week...well done thanks.
Hi Paul. Thanks , yup stupid place for the bottle. Someone suggested after refilling with coolant to then start the bike up with the radiator cap off and rev the engine for a few minutes to further help to try and clear any air inside, before putting the cap on.But check with a downloadable vfr manual just to be sure of the procedure. 👍
@@gsd32i Thanks will do..I have half the bike stripped here waiting to put a new Nitron rear shock in...the Honda shock is terrible & the preload adjuster keeps seizing...so I will take on the coolant too when I have the fairing & tank off...what can go wrong lol !!!
That's di ionised water not distilled...the one you have can still cause corrosion
Very curious on why you didn’t hook up the syringe straight to the black hose?
To be honest it was so long ago I don't recall. But it worked fine🙈
Great video, well explained.
Aiming to change the coolant on my repsol weekend, perfect video, good explanation and straight to the point with no waffle like most others. 👌
Hello, thanks for the video. Any idea about the size of the drain bolt (and washer respectively)? Many thanks!
sadly no idea, I don’t have the bike anymore to measure it either🙈
@@gsd32i, ah! No blade any longer! Sad times 😅. Thanks, anyway!
@@vinlondon4933 wish I could have kept it 😢
thought i was doing some thing wrong....only getting 2 litres out..and 3 litres in the service kit ...now i know
@13:13 i have the same tube free/released/hanging (rightside screen) with no connection to other place ...it is normal? What pipe ou tube is that? Actually I have two
Hi . I don’t have the bike anymore . But I think that you have 2 tubes going to the water pump . One comes from the radiator when the thermostat os open . The other is the one that comes from the engine cylinders and goes to the pump and back into the cylinders again . When the thermostat reaches a certain temperature a valve is opened that sends the hot water to the radiator to cool it and then a pipe which you can see on the left side goes back to the water pump to be pumped around again . When the engine is running cooler the thermostat closes and no water is pump through the radiator !! Hope that helps 🙈👍
Nice vid good explanation the only thing i think your slightly wrong with is on startup you didn't leave cap off in manual it wants you start engine and rev to get rid of any air
Thanks for that I will amend in the intro notes . Makes sense . 👍 blade now sold due to lack of use. Would have loved to have kept my Africa twin and the blade , but the blade never got used other than track days, so off it went. Ride safe.
I've just picked up a 2014 blade bloody love it amazing bike I've been used to 47hp on a2 lisence so feels amazing,, ive been sad today and took rad off to clean lol so i think i can get away with just putting the 3 litres of coolant straight in.. Im not dissing your work bud great vid just in manual it says top coolant and overfill tank then it says start engine for 3 minutes and rev then switch off and add coolant if nessarly then it says install cap it dosent make it very clear so my guess is it littery just want cap off for a short amount of time just for the 1st start up
Does anyone know where the bank angle sensor is on the 2010 cbr1000rr? I had a recent low side and bike won't start. I've been told to replace this but for the life of me, can't find the bank sensor location
Check behind the upper cowl where the stay bracket is. You will have to remove the cowl to see it
Hey , thanks for the vid, like many others on here this will be my 1st, Is the aim to fill the radiaor all the way to the top or is there a line to fill the coolant up to or something? thanks
Fill through the cap slowly until water is pouring out then bleed the air by blipping the throttle then top off again and fill the overflow tank to the line.
@@JohnDaddy9000 thank you
Hi.Glad someone jumped in and answered your question. Been away on road trip.Yup, blip the throttle and top off as best as you can.
If the oil filter is not changed, how many liters of oil will be added?
I read in some forum that a 2012 has 2.8L of oil excluding the filter volume. That's why it takes 3L to change the oil and filter. The oil filter has 200ml.
So disappointed because it looked great just wish i could actually make out what your saying over the music.
vanhap hi. I appreciate the comment. I’m still learning what works and what doesn’t regarding videos, but I take onboard what you say. I hope that some of the video was of help anyway . Thanks for your input 👍
@@gsd32i I watched it and the music was lower towards the later parts. thanks for sharing and helping with all the trouble posting these.
vanhap 👍
Can you please send me a link to your syringe you used please mate
Drew Taylor hi Darren . It was a 100ml syringe marked for single use which I purchased from a local supplier . There are similar on Amazon etc about £10. Then just get some tubing of the appropriate size. Ride safe 👍
if you put a hose in the radiator and pull that liter of distilled water does not work?
MrKyokushin25 hi . To be honest I didn’t give that a thought ! But if anyone else wants to try /or has done that , then I would be interested in result ! 👍
@@gsd32i but I will wait the bike has barely 2700 km... is too early to empty and change the coolant on.my bike...but frankly intrigued me that liter that does not want to come out😤!but if Honda said it's OK and so it's better ...but it would have been better to have that liter out, because it dilutes the collar i.don t now how much but the specs un the Honda says that is must be 50% coolant 50% distilled water no?
MrKyokushin25 I have test ridden the bike and although we have a 40mph speed limit here (🙈) so just like driving in town , the bike was operating at approximately 88-90 degrees C. So looks all good . As I said in video you could drain another litre out having put the 2 litres in which would reduce the amount of distilled water again ... I may do this as I still have unused coolant , from the 4 litres I purchased to do the coolant change . The coolant hasn’t been changed from when I purchased the bike new and am thinking of selling it so I changed it and the engine oil / filter too . 😎
@@gsd32i in one word, you can still empty the radiator once you've poured the 2 liters of antifreeze over the litre fi distilled water, then you empty the radiator and then put the same antifreeze and look like this should go after this antifreeze process and will not be diluted so much because it will not be that liter anymore no?
MrKyokushin25 distilled water is far better at heat transfer than anti freeze. But The anti freeze has rust inhibitors etc in it and obviously stops the water freezing if you live in cold climates ! Some people in warm climates use 20/80 mix as they don’t need much anti freeze. Like you say u and I have said you could run the bike after the 2 litres was put in, to 104 degrees c to get the thermostat to open and then let it cool .... then drain out 1 litre or even 2 litres then you know you’re gonna now be running at 50/50 once you then add another 2 litres of pre mixed anti freeze ...especially if your bike sits outside in the winter!. So you would need 4+ litres (€8 x4)as you need some for the expansion bottle . 👍
Nice video and explanation! But why put music while talking. Would have been so clear with just voice. Guys got to stop doing this
Sorry for that
