I was wondering if anyone knew how to flush my coolant out of my 2004 CBR 600RR? I need to change it to engine ice and I want to drain my old coolant before I put the new stuff in. How do I do this?

 

Check your PM

 

U have to totally disassemble the front clip..mid's and lower fairings and make sure you take the time to remove those lovely lil plastic screws properly or things could get difficult putting it all back together and anyone who has ever taken it apart knows what i mean.After all the armor is off the hose for the radiator is right there..and you can get a flush kit from Wal-Mart but u will need to take all the armor off to get to the radiator...

 

just found this great article on coolant and radiator flushing ....

"As for flushing the system, we recommend a very simple and cheap radiator flush.
Go to your local grocery store and buy "White Distilled Vinegar" and mix that 50/50 with some distilled water.
Fill the system with the 50/50 mix, run the bike until warm, let cool, drain and then run clear water through to wash out the vinegar. It's the same idea as cleaning your coffee maker. The vinegar is acidic enough to remove any scale or impurities, but not so harsh that it will harm your delicate seals and gaskets. DO NOT USE AUTOMOTIVE FLUSHING KITS...they are too harsh for a bike."

i am doing it this weekend. ANYBODY IN L.A. WANT TO DO THIS AS WELL ??? LET ME KNOW, WE CAN DO THEM AT THE SAME TIME AND PROBABLY SAVE ALOT OF TIME. I am also changing my oil and cleaning/lubing my chain.....LET ME KNOW

 

i wouldn't even use chemicals....just do a drain and fill.
