Radiator hose leak replacement HELP
 
Hey guys!

So I have a slow drip on the right side radiator hose leak where it connects to the temp sensor.

What I'm planning on doing in the morning is flushing the system with distilled water, and replacing the hose and putting on new clamps. I'm a little confused about the reservoir tank and how to get the coolent out? Easily that is.

Has anyone here done this or flushed their system out? Anyway I might be able to get a detailed write-up with steps ?

Sorry ik its a bit much to ask, but I can't find a good one anywhere on the internet.

BTW its a 1992 CBR 600 f2 :-)

It's been a while since I drained my coolant reservoir tank. I can't remember if I removed the tank, or if I pulled the hose at the bottom, and popped another piece of tubing on to drain it into a pan.

It is also possible I siphoned the tank dry using a hand pump I use for fueling my weedeaters and R/C airplanes.

Well I got it all flushed, man it was dirty and the guy had not put the right violent in before me.

Its running so much better and holds temperature much more evenly

Awesome!!

if the hoses are good but leaking or seeping coolant at the ends, just add another clamp. it has worked for me. its what i try first.
