How To Flush & Change Motorcycle Coolant - GSXR750
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 апр 2021
- Heather filmed me flushing and changing the coolant on her 2017 Suzuki gsxr750 a few months back and I finally got around to editing and uploading the video. This is my method for doing a full flush of the OEM coolant and switching to a non toxic coolant such as Engine Ice. Hope this helps some of you who have asked me to do a tutorial... unless of course your bike is air cooled lol. Thanks for watching! =)

Hey everyone, we actually filmed this video a while back but I figured it’s a good time to put it out as a lot of you will be buying your first bike this spring or pulling your bike out of winter storage! Thanks for watching and ride safe! ✌🏻
This was a very good instructional video and almost seems universal to other bikes as well. Great video!
Can you do a blinker fluid flush and change video?
@@ChaseJasperDown thanks man!
@@LetsgoBrandon2023 yessir you got it! 🤣
@@SALTxTHExWOUND sweet can't wait for it
Edit: lol
Quite informative. Thank you for filming your procedure all the way through and not cutting out parts. I found this extremely helpful. A big thumbs up on your efforts!
Changing the coolants easy part getting these damn fairings off the side with all these clips is a pain in the ass.
Amazing content! More of mechanic Salt please! 🥺 It will be really useful for future bikers like myself 🙃
You got it Nikola! Thank you for watching bro!
Suuuper helpful video!! Need to do mine before riding season really takes off. Thanks for posting this one!🙌🏻
Happy to help! It’s a very easy process, just take your time 😁👍🏻
Perfect timing, Salt! I have an idea how to do it but there’s no good step by steps on newer gsxrs like yours. Thank you so much!
You’re welcome Ben, thanks for watching!
SALTxTHExWOUND also does any engine ice work? Or is there a specific type like some coolants?
Huge thanks for this informative and straight to the point video! I just picked up a used 750 a few days ago and wanted to change all the fluids on it before riding season hits here in Salt lake City and this video was super helpful. Liked and subbed!
Awesome! Glad I could help, and I appreciate the sub and view! 👍🏻
Another thing you never mentioned in this video is it has an air bleed on the bike that you need to open up and let the air come out when you fill it with new coolant until it flows with coolant, nobody ever mentioned that big mistake by the video maker
That is true. Peeps don’t forget to skip that process.
Where are they typically ?
Do you no where the air bleed screw is on a 2011 600
Where is my bleeder on my 2012 750
I've got a 2011 gsxr600. I believe the bleeder bolt is at the top of the water pump housing. On the left side. The hose that he drained first, where lots of coolant came out, is connected to that housing.
Actually been planning on doing this to my newly picked up 750, thanks brother🤙
No problem! Thanks for watching!
Hey I've been thinking about doing this myself thanks for the content bro keep it pumping
You got it! Don’t be discouraged like many people are, it’s a very simple process. Just take your time and do it thoroughly 👍🏻
i've gone few times since owning my k7 and the only thing I noticed different is on mine there is a bleeder screw that I used to get the air out.
This video walked me through it on my 2012 Gsxr 750z thanks!
Just in time I was about to do this, thanks!
Thanks for watching!
nice information Man....Love the way u explained it
Thank you!
Good video bro! Very helpful🤙🏼
I have to cut the rest of the video short. I’m at work😉 have a good day!
Haha understandable! Thanks for watching Raul!
Thank you sir for making this video. Now it’s my turn to work on my baby 06 gsxr 750
You are welcome!
Great vid man!
Thank you!
Was just thinking about taking my bike for a flush but I think I might do it myself thanks for the video just got around 6000 miles on a 2016 I know I suck 😅 lol cheers man I enjoy your track videos
Thank you! And just take your time, it's not a hard process at all. :)
I have the same bike. I took it out for a spin today and man did she scare the crap out of me lol. Super fun and sure not a toy. New found respect for her speed and power!....#gsxrmafia
Great content👍🏾,..hopefully I’ll run into you guys on these Florida back roads one day. Located in Lakeland 💯
Thank you! And we’re bound to at some point! 👊🏻
I like liked that You are a smart guy your common sense is better than the average bear I made a bit more of a mess did not think to use a drop cloth till the second time I had the cap off for the over flow res. but like you said cheaper I found a book but dont recall for what bike but wish I had this video back then 😁 Thankyou.
Good informative video, not a whole lot of coolant change videos on this specific gixxer. Saw one video and the guy was telling people not to remove the inside hose, only the outsider one 😂
Thank you! And hmm strange, I’d remove every hose lower than the radiator cap myself
Very informative 👍
Thanks Mac!
So is this the same process for a 600
Gsxr?
just was telling myself I needed to do this
Hey, what should I check first if my radiator fan isn't rotating?
Good job bro 👍✌️
Thanks Ian!
Great tutorial salt, would you flush after using liquid molly radiator repair?
Thank you! I don’t have any experience with that product unfortunately
Suzuki doesnt put a petcock or drain bolt on the water pump? Also, it helps to put the bike on the kickstand when filling the radiator since the fill is the highest point and will help get the air out. Good stuff.
Y’all ever gonna ride towards Pensacola??
Does the engine ice really help lower temps?
I’m actually doing this job right now, with cap off the coolant is spitting out heaps, I think there’s still air in the system
There is a bleeder screw on the back of the thermostat everyone seems to neglect.
Lmao! @15:46 when your wife said it's going into the engine and you quickly corrected her on it. You left her speechless haha. C'mon man, you could've let it slide but your bike mechanic mind didn't let you!
Good job man on doing that I would have had that shit everywhere lol
Haha thanks man! 😂
Question. So my 2016 gixxer only has 5300 miles. I have had it for about 2-3 years and haven't changed the coolant yet. Do I need to do it now or can I wait until I hit 10k miles? thanks salt
You can most likely wait, I know guys that ride theirs on the street and only change it every 5 years.
Thanks, salt@@SALTxTHExWOUND
much better if dont open the radiator cap first just to create some vaccum to slow down the flow before taking out the bottom hoses
Can you send a link to the crash pads?
Seeing your radiator.. mines NASSSTY!! omg. Whoever had my bike last, wasn't nice to it. I've already basically rebuild the bike. except for major things, transmission, engine, radiator, exhaust. Most of my electrical is replaced, tail light, spark plugs, fuel pump/filter..
Nothing you can't restore, good luck bro!
Can I apply this to an 07 GSXR 750? Are the systems similar?
Yes, they are very similar 👍🏻
Thanks 🙏
You’re very welcome! 👊🏻
Should this be done on say a 2020 with only 3500 miles or should I be good for another summer ????
No You'll be fine, if you're just riding the street I'd say every 2 years or 10,000 miles roughly
@@SALTxTHExWOUND thanks man 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
Hey bro do you know if a 05 gsxr 600 radiator would fit on a 06 600?
I believe it would, if I'm not mistakes the k5 and k6 were nearly the same
@@SALTxTHExWOUND thanks man! Do you know if Amazon or eBay parts are good?
Salt, how are you getting rid of the old coolant?
I reuse it for washing the dishes... JOKES! lol You'll have to google a place near you, we have one close by that will get rid of it.
Every how long do you change coolant on bike
I believe most manufacturers recommend every 2 years but I’d personally say 3-4 years myself.
does the 750 doesn't have bleeder screen to get the air out?
It does on the water pump. Just look at the cover where he disconnected the two lower coolant hoses from. Should be the uppermost bolt with a copper washer behind it. Loosen that bolt slightly until you get a steady dribble of coolant to purge remaining air from the system.
@@AdVan82 exactly. i was shocked he didn't do that..
What exactly is the benefit of doing this?
What do you do with the old coolant
Feed it to your neighbors. lol I kid, dispose it at your local dump.
is getting to 230 at a stop too hot for these bikes
The worst part about modern bike maintenance is removing bodywork.
I used dzus fasteners on my nc30
Took 60 seconds to get both sides off.
Now it's all fidly plastic tabs and nonsense
I have to agree lol the New Z’s we got are so nice with no plastics in the way 🙌🏻
Agreed. Although my RSV4 has been the easiest aside from my track GSXR. I find that the Japanese sportbikes have gotten a lot more complicated and annoying with removing plastics. The Italian bikes are so much easier to work on. People say they are much more difficult but it’s actually the opposite.
I have a 2018 gsxr1000 and it’s fairings are the easiest plastics to take off than any bike that I have had!
of course you can flush it with tap water, i let it run for some time, only then if you are so concerned can you flush it with distiled water to wash away tap water, then use coolant to wash away distiled water, then you fart inside and only after that you can finally pour proper coolant mix... your bike will absolutely not know any difference, but you will sleep better and later sell your knowledge on yt posts
Theres really no need 2 do this! Or convince me!
