coolant

Hi all, I'm planning on changing the coolant myself, however i've purchased bottles of Castrol coolant, but noticed in the blurb on the back of the bottle that its not recommended for Magnesium Alloy engines. I assume becuase they've not used de-ionised water in their mix or something that...

Just been for an evening run, stopped at some lights and noticed coolant pissing out of the right hand side hose where it joins the radiator.Rode home keeping an eye on the temperature and have just replaced the final two ****** clamps with jubilee clips. It now seems to have stopped but needs...

Hi guys, Im dripping abit of coolant from here, its gradually got worse, to the point where i notice a patch in the garage, is it a common fault on these? What part do I need to replace? I dont even know what that cylinder type thing with the rusty cap is! Heres a pic:

Bit of a long winded one this but i could really do with help so please bear with me ... Ok so i decided to change the coolant in my bike as it hasnt been done since i bought it at the end of last year. I removed both expansion tank cap and filler cap, then unplugged both radiator drain bolts...

Had MOT other day, tester advised me to top up coolant. Bought some coolant and after letting it cool down after my spin earlier opened the cover. It's right at the top? Maybe the MOT tester doesn't know about the fact that the indicator is pants and the level was fine. However...

Just before the Winter kicked in i noticed a slight coolant mark on the radiator pipes on my 06 'T'. After whiping of the covers and coolant resevoir tank (10 minutes) i noticed that 5 out of the 8 clips which hold all the rubber pipes on were either seeping or dripping coolant! The clips are...

Is it just my bike. How difficult is it to see the coolant level through the tiny spy hole on the expansion reservoir. I can't see a poxy thing.

Any tips I have an 08 rsvr that has a slight leak on one of the pipes around the clip can it be tightened? if so do i need a special tool or do i need replace the lot with new clips and pipe? :confused

I was just reminded by another new owner about the time that I was tipped in on the right and had a burst of steam and hot liquid piss all o'er me leg. Sweet... one of those "genuine Aprilia" hose CLIPS had decided to go south. Never did find the little *******... Easy sort. Just got regular old...

sorry, new to all this tuono thing ( but absolutely lovin it !!! ) When i look at the level windows with the bike upright for the coolant and the oil i dont see a thing, im assuming it should be somewhere in the middle ? Am i missing something obvious ? should the bike be warm and/or running ??

Hi guys and girls I am going to service my 04 RSV has anyone got a quick guide on how to change the coolant. Is there any issues I should be aware of. Many thanks in advance.:):)

Hi everyone im a newbie to the forum and to aprilias as well i just changed one of the radiators and refilled it with new coolant i filled it thru the fill cap side but after putting in about 3 liters the low & max on the overflow tank does not show any coolant but when i try to put some more in...

Well went out today and ran the bike for the first time in weeks and noticed that i had coolant leaking out of one of jubilee clips on the offside feed to the radiator. Now the radiator has been swapped out and when i did this i changed from the ****** snap on clips Ape use for simple standard...

how do you guys drain the coolant? theses no low level pip on the rad so i disconnected the pipe that i think goes to the water pump< should this get all the coolant and water out of the system?

Hi all Has anyone drained the coolant from there bike, is there a specific drain point cannot find anything in the manual on how to do this, or is it just wip a hose off and let it all run out. Cheers

hi there do i have to use proper coolant like putoline or can i use normal antifreize like i do in my car iff i mix it 50 50 will it be ok for my 06 tuono .

I've been slowly plodding through servicing my beloved mille whilst it's tucked up in the garage out of the cack weather, but now I've come unstuck as to which would be the best/decent coolant to replace the sludge in the there at the mo. There was a mention somewhere about Halfords but I've...

Just wondering what you lads are using for coolant and what is recommended, decided to do a full service while the weather is crap and I've got a week or two off work :D

Hi Fellas. . . Could anyone tell me what the normal operating temp should be on my 2002 rsv r ?

I was coming home from work one day this week when I noticed a dribble of blue liquid on the RHS of the bellypan and over the reg/rec. Wiped it up. Then took off the bellypan, expansion tank cover etc. had a look around for splits and ran the bike up for a few mins until it was up to temp...
