Okay let's change the coolant on this GSXR!!! It's a GSXR 750, to do that we got
to drain the rad, as you can see we've already drained the oil that we're
starting to drain the oil you can see down there we've just removed the plug
it's 17mm plug, we've got our handy dandy tools over there so the plug gets
accessible very easy we're also gonna change a brake fluid, and actually to
drain the coolant we're just gonna pull off this bottom holes right here but to
fill it up we need to be able to bleed it from the top so as you can see
there's a radiator... What we have to do is in order to change the coolant we
can see there's a radiator, and the cap is down right in there that's where we
have the cap so in order to change that we have to take off the plastic so
the fairing here has to come off so we got to get all that off okay so we're
gonna change the antifreeze in 2013 GSXR 750, this is a newer style L3 I
think, the K was a previous version so as you can see here's a radiator
here's the overflow tank we're just gonna disconnect the rad hose but not on
this side we're gonna disconnect it on the other side because as you can see on
this side it goes up so it's too high so we're not gonna get a proper drain we're
gonna do the other side what I basically wanted to say is getting this off was
not easy at all you can see there's a bunch of little clips here there's a
screw there there's a clip at the top action didn't you didn't have to take
that I know you can see there it is on the other side so I'll put that back and
basically to get off the faring it is not it's not an easy task to go over
here we can see here's the fairing, it's in good shape
nothing broke so that's kind of nice yeah that's really good the hardest part
was on the rear and it's right where
here right there what was going on if you look at your fairing it's right on
this part here I guess just over the center part what that is okay it goes
right there that part I showed you it's right there and that is the hardest part
everything else kind of just snaps apart you'll can find there's little clips, as
you go down it's really not that difficult there's some allen keys right
there you can see I put one back in so I wouldn't lose, it 5mm is the size
for most of them anyway that one thing popping out I thought I was gonna bust
it!!! I've never did, and that's it now we should be able to get to here now to
take this piece off I don't know it looks like it's a lot of work and
there's this so I think we can just pour it into here we can get it and there's
our overflow tank if we come over to the other side of the bike you can see it's
pretty loose I didn't even have to disconnect these these ones right here
the reason I took this out as well as doing some general service 17mm bolt
on the bottom that's for the oil, and then when you look in here you can pull
back and go in here like so and there we have our oil filter so we changed our
oil filter so we did the whole service on it so I figure might as well just do
a bunch of work on it so we did that, but what's more important is if we look at
our radiator right in here so there's a radiator there's a lower hose follow the
holes down through the faring and we can see right here at the bottom here's
where we're going to drain it is the lowest point we're going to just pull it
off there and we are going to drain our coolant
okay now we don't want to forget to drain the reservoir because this
reservoirs got a bunch of dirty fluid in it, or the old fluid so what we can do
just gonna zoom in there there's just a clamp at the bottom right there we can
just undo that clamp and let what's in the reservoir drain out all right so now
just for a little science project we're just gonna see how much came out I know
we lost someone or not a whole lot so let's just measure and see all right now
if we look here it looks like not a whole lot about two liters out so I
don't know if that's uh that's what we should do but you know what it's good
enough for me the fluid wasn't that dirty so let's just change it with at
least changing a good portion of it here's the flue that we're gonna use so
we're gonna use a Suzuki fluid I know some guys say to use whatever but I just
like to put in whatever came out this way there's no no worries you're in
first we want to make sure we top up the reservoir good because we're gonna have
to run it, and it's probably gonna, if it has the air bubbles it's gonna suck more
fluid back so let's put some in there there we go so we put about 200ml in
there and now we're gonna fill up the actual radiator. As long as we get
the 2L pretty much back in what came out one came in we'll run it a bit
if we have a little bit of an air bubble or something like that it should suck it
out of the tank but we'll make sure we run it we don't want to take it riding
right after we do this and there we go it's full and actually that's
pretty much almost 2L exactly and you can see on the bottom there there's
just a wee bit left if you can see it doesn't really show up on the light but
it's about other you go you can see it it's really not much left
so that's pretty much what came out what goes back in
so now what we want to do hopefully you can hear me
actually not under pressure
to make sure that our hoses are getting warm, and then once that
happens we know the coolant is actually flowing
I've run the bike for a few heat cycles and you can see that's the level of the
coolant so I think we're OK and actually an interesting thing if you come right
around to the front of the bike and you look underneath within the fender here
it's impossible to see oh there we go you can see there's a coolant level and
let me see if I can zoom in there you go there's a full and empty level you can
see the two bars so right in there so we're good so now what we can do is we
can put the fairing back on ok so just want to show that that's the fairing how
I took it off like I was mentioning that's the hard part to pop off but once
it comes off the whole thing will come off so if we turn this around like this
this is just gonna fit just like this back on the bike right there you can see
all the little clips and everything goes down one piece really easy to do like I
says don't be afraid of that one pop that's the problem I didn't know it was
what was going on??? good catch the only thing is we have to
put the put the plug back in my coolant reservoir so you want to leave
that open so we'll do that right now okay so we're just gonna put the plug
back in cuz we are all done now
and put the fairing which is right here we can lift that up and put that back on
none of the clips are in but just to show you right in here right behind here
I don't know if you can see but right in behind here there is there's one pin
there and then there's that scary one that's right there but once you push
those on you can see it's loose and out we have to do just put in a little on
bolts there there right there right there and then underneath there's some
clips and then it just ties together with clips on the bottom and that's it
done
