Rad Hoses

[noggythenog]

Mornin rad monkeys......


For anyone trying this out, if you also plan on flushing out the coolant system which i did then beware the following awkward hose.its possibly just like this on my bike alone for whatever reason or it could be for all of that year but anyway it's the hose on the underneath of the coolant resorvoir which you're supposed to disconnect to allow the old coolant out.


Good old mr haynes shows a nice pic of the hose being just passed the oil filler cap & within easy reach to get at,he also shows 1 piece of hose coming from the resorvoir & then a join in the hose within reach which is where you would disconnect.


However as you can see i had 1 continuous hose & its in a really awkward position to get to,after an age i decided that even if i did get it off i wouldnt manage to get it back on & yes it would be an easy mod to add a join to the pipe but i got focced off & bought an oil draining cylinder hand pump thing & sooked it out from the filler cap instead,hardly worth it seeing the tiny amount that came outta the resorvoir but i wanted all the old stuff out.


P.s-when you click on the picture it will go back to being the right way up as i took it!!!! :lol
