Accessing the radiator cap
What all do y'all remove to get at the radiator cap? The whole upper cowl? Just the air duct?
|
Just the ram air cover.

I've been looking at that damn thing for awhile now. I'd like to do a coolant flush but I didn't want to have to dissemble the entire bike to do it. Maybe after the chain and sprocket job and during the spark plug change I'll do it. Seems an appropriate time.

i was looking at the radiator cap the other week wondering why the hell anyone with half a brain would design it to be in the location that it is. The easiest way seems to be to remove the front fairing and the one ram air duct.

I agree though that it seems that it was designed by someone with no idea that a rad cap needs to come off. |

You can access it with the duct and front fairing in place, the duct is quite flexible and squashes out of the way to remove the cap, you can then fill it up using a funnel with a bit of hose pipe on the end.

Thus why I said only remove the ram air cover. Good work Donny.
I don't recall replying to you, I was dispelling misinformation being posted elsewhere in the thread. |

Is this suppose to be a dis against me??? I'm not sure how to interpret that.
I thought you were implying that I should pay attention as you had already said you don't need to remove anything other than the duct cover. If you were, then it was a polite way of saying go **** yourself. If you weren't, my apologies, no harm intended. |
