Hi Gaz, can I ask where you got your radiator from? I am in the market for one myself and mine is quite warped. I was thinking of getting a Delkavic one off ebay.

Also the answer to your question would help me greatly too.

Thanks all

Yep basically the same as coolant change.

top it right up until no more goes in ( maybe rock the bike a little and squeeze the hoses to fill up as much as possible)

start the engine leave for a min....rev a good few times as it increases the flow in the system and top up accordingly.

double check again abit later perhaps if you arnt sure but should take about 5 mins if that once the radiator is on.

Dont forget to re-check the level once the bike is cold, leaving it overnight is ideal.
