rs125 coolant amount?

[G19RKE]

iv drained coolant and put back in the amount i thought it should be but when iv removed the cap under the tank it looked empty.. so i topped it up a little more and ran the bike then checked again and it was empty again!

now when im riding along the temps seem to go right up to 75 ish and its even gone as far as 85 a couple of times... its never gone that high before i changed the coolant tbh..

so if im going to drain the coolant out again and redo it then whats the exact amount i should be putting in and what is the mix ratio of coolant to water....

Did you actually bleed the system after you refilled?

There's plenty of videos on Youtube, the process is the same for most coolant systems.

Make sure you are filling up and bleeding from the radiator cap and not the expansion bottle.

Some engines have bleed bolts so will be a slightly different process.

According to the interwebs you should fill from the expansion tank, then there are 2 bleed screws, one on the top left corner of the rad and the other one directly below the left side of the expansion tank.

Loosen these one at a time until coolant seeps out, then re tighten. Top the coolant back up to the fill level and you should be good.
