About Radiator
The radiator is a main part of the cooling system. Coolant flows through the tubes inside the radiator, which are surrounded by fins that direct airflow. When the vehicle is moving down the road, air flows through these fins and cools the coolant. The lower temperature coolant is then sent back to the engine. A failed radiator can lead to engine overheating and potential engine damage.

Replace Steps
1.Remove the radiator cap,after stripping any fairing panels off, make sure the engine’s cold then carefully open the radiator cap. Always do this with a rag over the top, and turn it but hold it in place
2.Drain the old coolant ,with a container underneath, remove the coolant drain bolt and washer from the bottom of the water pump on the left-hand side.
3.Drain the reservoir tank too,this bike has a coolant reservoir, so remove the cap and the hose on its bottom to drain the remaining fluid into a container.
4.Reattach any hoses,pop the reservoir hose back on, as well as any other hoses you might have taken off, but leave the drain bolt out.
5.Flush with a hose,pop a hose into the top of the filler neck and flush the system completely with clean tap water.
6.Use a flushing compound,whatever you use, make sure it’s compatible with aluminium engines.Once the engine is flushed with the hose, pop the drain bolt back in using the old sealing washer, then half fill the system with tap water. After that, pour the bottle of flush into the radiator, then top up the system again.
7.Run it with tap water,with the engine flush drained out, it’s time to refit the drain plug and washer, then fill the system again with plain water.
Start the engine and once again let it fast idle for ten minutes.
8.Fill the radiator with coolant.
9.Top up the expansion tank,now top up the expansion tank with coolant to the upper level, then fit the caps.
10.Run the engine,fire up the engine, let it idle for two or three minutes.
11.Top up the coolant,once the engine’s cooled, remove the radiator cap and check the coolant level – if it’s dropped, top it up so it’s level with the neck of the radiator and top up the expansion tank too
