also, after you add the coolant, run the bike again to allow coolant to flow and fill the empty areas. then check it again and top off. if you dont, you will run the risk of overheating due to not enough coolant. also, when running it, leave the rad cap off until it starts to boil. cut off the engine and put the cap back of. allows the system to burp air bubbles out.

Man you've given me life back I fought a heron addiction I got 6months clean and all I do is ride my gsxr and watch you're vids you don't know the difference you've made I want to thank you so much

Man 5 years later and you’re still helping newbs like myself. Amazing detailed video man :)

You should of ran bike after refilled since there is likely air in cooling system and overflow tank will need topping up.

A key note, he used pre-mixed engine ice. If using concentrate you must mix with distilled water to proper levels, refer to your owner manual.

A good tip for filling the system back up. Pump one of the coolant lines with your hand by squeezing and releasing several times. This will force any remaining air out of the system and will allow you to top off the radiator. After a couple squeezes you will notice the coolant level in the radiator will drop.

Good job mate, very comprehensive. One thing you maybe should have added is that you should run the bike for a bit after adding the engine ice then check the fluid level again because it can sometimes have a few air bubbles in there.

I like these How To's. I've got a Yamaha Thundercat from '97 and haven't changed the coolant since i bought it nearly 2 years ago. I wasnt sure about this whole cycle "put dest. water in, turn on, let it run out, again, then coolant...." and my bike runs just fine... But now i saw how to do it and its very simple, i'll do it in the coming weeks, good job chase.

I love these how to videos, simply because im learning more about my bike as you do them!

Hi chaseontwowheels, great video but 1 thing worries me. When the engine is hot (as shown in your video), I would personally wait a few hours until the engine is completely cold. Because replacing the hot coolant with cool air runs the risk of cracking your head or some other damage. As an engineer I know rapid cooling of aluminium and other alloys is really bad in ANY engine.

I appreciate how you've put together a solid instructional video with a bike that's been absolutely trashed. Good work :).

Absolutely enjoyed this video please put out more like it for people who aren't engine savvy

Don't forget to cycle the system again by running the bike and leaving the cap off of the radiator. This will let out and air pockets in the cooling system. If you don't it can cause the engine to overheat.

I cant believe your bike still runs/turns on, more durable then i thought they were. like even though itll look like crap, it will still get you where you needto go, as is.

don't put the cap on until you are finished. as the coolant drops, add fluid. once the air is out the level will stop dropping.

Thank you for taking the time to make this video. I heard the Engine Ice will clump up if mixed with water or other coolants. Double flush with distilled water...got it!

I love the How-To Videos! Even though it's a different bike than my ZX6R it does give me the general idea of how it works. And to do a flush and let the bike run. Thanks Chase!

I know how to tear my engine apart and rebuild the entire thing already. I just like Chase's soothing voice is all ;)

Bleed the the radiator cooling system with the radiator cap off and a funnel in it with little extra coolant sitting in it. As the engine runs the extra coolant bubbles as air escapes and the coolant fills in. Idk if the r6 or motorcycles in general have a way of doing that by itself lol but thats how i do it on my car and thats how its done on other cars. And FYI to those asking if its bad to mix a higher water to coolant ratio, its not. WATER IS THE BEST WAY TO KEEP YOUR ENGINE COOL but chemicals and additives in coolant are designed to keep it from freezing in extremely cold temperatures.

love your tutorials man. good blend of basic info without treating audience like plebs

Only thing I could suggest would be to squeeze the radiator hose as you refill it. This will help push out any air bubbles in the system. Not sure if you did this but it wasn't mentioned so that's my 2 cents. Otherwise..Good tutorial.

You kinda forgot the step to make sure there is no air in the coolant system. I don't know if this particular bike handles that on it's own but I know there's plenty of other bikes that don't. I usually squeezed the hell out of the hoses on the bike until there weren't any bubbles coming out of the radiator cap.

Good stuff Chase. I would recommend adding in a step to rinse out the reservoir with some distilled vinegar to clean out any scale/sluge that may have collected in there. Just pour some in, shake it and rinse out with water. Look forward to seeing what's next for Holly.

I like the how-to videos :) You should take some of the money we sent you and replace that two bros exhaust with something better

SOCKET. It's a socket Chase.

Do more of these videos pls.Now is the perfect time for them , when you'r rebuilding your motorcyclre :)

How-to videos would be a great addition to your channel!! I've burnt my wrist before from a radiator that cooled for over 30 minutes....not fun!!

Although I don't yet own a bike, I find this video thoroughly interesting! I do want to see all the videos to bring back holly, as I'm sure a lot of others do too. Keep it up Chase!

Older video I know but this just saved me. Basically a friend of mine overheated my bike because he's not used to liquid cooled and his is air-cooled. He's been practicing with my R6 bc his is a 500cc and needs mine for his full license test. He ran the coolant dry. I went to fill it up but Yamaha made it so I can't see the fill line and have to take off the fairings just to access the reservoir just to drain it. At 2am after the gym, in the dark. What a pain in the ass. I just now saw how it was emptied. Damn. Rip. Ah well. Next bike is going to be naked. I love the look of fairings but they're annoying. A Gixxer has 1 panel. Mine has 4 and 99 bolts. Thanks Yamaha Edit: Just saw how you can drain it out of the bottom of the bike. I had taken my reservoir off the bike and poured out coolant until the full line. Then reinstalled. Plus all the fairings.

Yep. Definitely like it. Keep the how to vids comin. Good job. It can only help you become a better mechanic and learn what works from other people who may have a more efficient or cost saving way.

it would be awesome to see more how toos. especially being a new bike owner.

Keep up the how to maintenance vids. Just bought my 1st bike.

You have come a long way bro.

Good job on the how to. Keep them comin. Interesting how different the process is between bikes. Mine has to be drained at the water pump and at the radiator, along with using thread sealant when replacing the bolts, then you have to "burp" the hoses when re-filling with coolant...

Love the How-To videos..

Legit how to video. These are my go to vids cause I trust your skills. Keep ridin strong

Definitely prefer "how-to" videos. Everything else out there doesn't have as good of quality as this 👌🏼

Not really a big deal and just leaving a comment to comment but in my fz6 manual I think it says to make sure the overflow is inbetween the High and Low marks when cold. Thanks for the video.

your how to videos are awesome. Really informative and entertaining. Very helpful when I'm learning about bike maintenance and not wanting to spend money to take it into a shop, it's good to know how to do it yourself. I have a red 07 yamaha r6. two thumbs up !!! I love you yummir6 motonosity and all the other motovloggers.

just remove the lowest cooler hose, its way faster and easier. And after you filled it, start it up and the cooler lvl will go down a bid :D Nice vid btw, its still helpfull

I really enjoyed your format! Since I am new to motorcycles, I would really like to see an oil change. I think you will have something with How-To videos here :) Keep up the good work!

Yes more DIY vids. Helps others looking how to do the job and not pay them damn rip off bike shops.

I like these how to vids :)

"Hell yeah coolant flush gon' be easy as shit" *Drain plug bolt snaps off in hole* "FUCK!" Just had to take the water pump cover off and easily took the broken off bolt out with pliers :D

I like the how to videos! Even tho i dont have a bike.

dont fill your reservoir all the way up *proceeds to fill up the reservoir all the way up* 🤣

Good how to man!!! I also changed my coolent this year! When I re did my R6

Hey man yeah can u keep up with these how to videos cuz I would like to learn like all the maintenance work to keep my bike running smoothly with out having to go to the shops all the time

How often should we flush this system, every year, every two years? The "how to" videos are very useful, thanks.

How-To on a motorcycle is very interesting to me so i say keep em coming man i'm enjoying it :D

Good shit!!! Keep them coming!!!do all bikes!!! More damn it more!!!

I love how to videos! Especially when it's on the same exact bike that I own! Good shit! Thanks Chase!

Definitely would love more how to videos.

You do a great job on these types of videos :) always helpful, good vid! :)

Great vid man, keep up the how to vids, good luck on the rebuild!

Really good video! :) Please do more How To Videos. I'm learning ALOT :)

keep them coming with the how to videos.

Beautiful machine 🥺

I’m doing this after winter 👌🏾thanks nice video

Love the how-to vids keep them up

Good job shoulda recorded when the reservoir fluid started going into the engine ...amazing view!!

Keep em coming, extremely informative.

Thanks bro. Just what I needed.

YOU FINALLY FIXED YOUR BIKE :D :D :D NOW WE CAN RIDE TOGETHER!

Come on Chase, this is 2015, the year of Streetfighter, lot's of R6 in Indonesia become Streetfigheter :D

You need to keep the cap off and turn the engine on and have the coolant flow through the engine and fill it up until the coolant levels stop going down in the radiator

Luv the how to videos brother keep uo the good work an cany wait for holly to get back togather

looks nice without the fairings

love the how to videos ! keep em comin!

The second step (the one u skipped) did u leave the bottom bolt off and poor threw or did u put it back in and start the bake again. Loved the the vid as i always do

The only thing that keeps your engine cool is the air flow thru the radiator, not some additive .

Very nice Chase thanks Bro !!!

Good morning chase and company

Love the how to video, great video as usual! Thanks

The cripple approves of this video and its methods

Very good video I watched it just to double check how it was done after I flushed mine perfect

Great video. Keep’em coming.

the how to was on point.

Thanks for the video you got me to change mine in my FZ8!

Loved the vid bro, keep'em up.

What really speeds it up is letting it run and get nice and hot. Then take the radiator cap of using one swift twist.

this tutorials should be more about scooters , its very hard to get into such parts , I have a 98 honda helix,and I want to flush the cooling system , But you can not get to the radiator tank. I can only get hands on the reservoir

What about the air bubbles you forgot to mention.

Yeah I've definitely gotta get some engine ice for my bike. Great tutorial though!

You're supposed to run the bike one more heat cycle when you put the new coolant in, let it cool down and recheck the level for a final time.

Awesome vid chase!!!

Great job man!! Great vid

Yes sir! More How To's

love the how to videos!

Please keep on doing the tutorial videos how to do it good for us and good for you and good for us to see how it's going

Awesome video.

Why didn't you drain the way the manual instructs - disconnecting the hose directly to the right of the screw you removed? Seems to be the lowest point of the radiators circulation, so there'd likely be a lot of sediment you're not getting rid of by removing just the bolt you've suggested.

Weird to hear you out of a helmet! good video

wouldnt you circulate the engine ice coolant too? as you did with water? because once starting the bike it completely flushed the old coolant out and now theres water there, so wouldnt you need to flush the water out using the new coolant? because somehow i dont know about you, but i wouldnt want to keep any water in there mixed with my coolant.

great vid more of these would be awesome

Really helpful dude! Thanks

You should do more of these

Remember to burb your coolant system in the future to get the air out

I just take that drain screw out and put a hose on the radiator cap and start up the bike.. new water getting in to clean and keep the bike cool while it’s coming out the other side..2in1

2 Bros is the shit . awesome sound. I have an m2 on mine
