I just did this on my 1190 Adventure R after watching your video, very well done, and a few more. The biggest issue was getting the front end up high enough. I saw how you did yours and saw other people took the rear wheel off and elevated the front end using the center stand as a pivot point. I contemplated using a rental engine hoist. I found a way to do this without elevating the front 20 inches. I went to Harbor Freight and bought the siphon kit that looks like a huge syringe. It comes with then body and 2 tubes. I had bought a new radiator cap and used the old one to attach to one of the tubes, it was a perfect fit. I then did put the bike on the center stand and jack it to where the rear wheel rested on the ground. I filled the motor with the bleed screws both backed out until I could get no more into the system. I closed the left bleed screw and filled the syringe with coolant. using the syringe attached to the radiator cap I pumped fluid into the system using very light pressure. I had to refill this syringe twice by pushing the fluid and closing the bleed screw to hold the fluid in the head between refills. After the fluid ran clear of air I closed the bleeder while still under pressure. Did the same thing on the other side. Just like bleeding brakes. Took the exact amount of fluid it should. Ran it up and checked it. Took a small amount of fluid to top up. Took it out on a test ride and all seemed well. This seemed so much easier than the front wheel elevation and safer as well as easier. The pressure bleed also seemed a more reliable way to get rid of air. I am leaving this here so if anyone is looking for directions for this work they may want to consider doing it this way.

Really well done brother 👊 I'm sure there allot of folks needing to know how to do that

[@twobeagles1365]

Using the ramp was a good idea, I have to do my 1290 soon, Thanks for the video.

[@AdventureTomek]

Hope it helps. Thanks for watching!

[@csiautodetail]

Thanks for the detailed video, what a pain in the rear to change this fluid.

[@AdventureTomek]

You bet

[@sarahwebb1006]

Hey senior Tomek! I live in Montrose, and bought an 1190 R late last season. We should meet up for some rides this upcoming season man. Always looking for good riding buddies!

[@AdventureTomek]

Sounds great! Sent you an email

[@AdventureGlide]

Thanks for the info Tomek. Good Job 👍

[@AdventureTomek]

You bet, thanks

[@theadventurousrider]

If it calls to adjust the vavles, as much as you had off you may have been able to go ahead and do that.

[@AdventureTomek]

The bike only has 9500k on it, I’ll have to double check but I believe the valve check interval is 18k.

[@mattiasmyrman]

Thank you, so helpful! 😄

[@AdventureTomek]

You welcome. Thanks for watching!

[@frank_jk]

Awesome video, thank you! By the way, random question: how big is your moto shed? 12x16? I’m looking to build one in the yard since I don’t have a garage. Thanks!

[@AdventureTomek]

12x10 but if you can go 12x16 DO IT!! Haha Not much room in the shack. Although with the tool bench, tool boxes and shelf I can still squeeze 2 bikes.

[@frank_jk]

@@AdventureTomek Yeah, I suppose anything is better than trying to wrench outside in the winter, which is what I’m having to do now. Thank you!

[@erdemkilci7554]

M Thanks for the detailed video. I did the same. About 150 ml of coolant came out of the lower drain pipe for 2 times. Before changing the coolant, water was missing in the radiator, the tank was empty. Could there be a problem? Do you have any ideas?

[@AdventureTomek]

Could be a number of reasons. Most likely an external leak. Follow you hose lines and see if you can spot anything first. Possibly a water pump seal as well. It you have an internal leak in the engine it will mix with your oil and the oil will look milkey, but I highly doubt that. Keep an eye on the level see how fast you are loosening fluid

[@erdemkilci7554]

there is no leakage, It's coming from the drain hose under the engine. I think it's the hose coming from the spare water tank , to drain excess water

[@erdemkilci7554]

When you stop the machine, the coolant boils. I don't hear any fan noise. The fan doesn't continue working.

[@csiautodetail]

How in the world did you manage to raised the bike in a shed with that limited space.

[@AdventureTomek]

I sometimes wonder that myself 🤣

[@mohammedfaridbellamine4055]

The 50 cm is for the two cylinder hoses drain?

[@AdventureTomek]

??

[@mohammedfaridbellamine4055]

Excuse for my english, i just bought a 1090 adventure and i would do a flush cooling system like in you video, but you show just one cylindre when the new coolant came out of the head of cylindre, my question is, you screw one head cylindre and open the other then when the air bubbles came out you screw and open the other to do same job, or you open the two screw at the same time and when you see the new coolant flush came out off the two cylindre head at the same time you screw the two screws?

[@AdventureTomek]

@@mohammedfaridbellamine4055 I took out both at the same time. See if you can get a friend to watch left side of the bike when start pouring fluid in and watch the right yourself. You should start see fluid coming out of the rear cylinder first “left side plug, close it up once bubbles stop. Once bubbles stop from front, right side plug. Close that one up second. I left both open to see where fluid would come out first. The one that you see fluid coming out first, gets closed first. Hope this helps

[@mohammedfaridbellamine4055]

Woow super intuitive, thank you !! I get it know, thank you 🙏

[@hailboognish3858]

Would all this be relatively the same on a 07 super duke 990?

[@AdventureTomek]

That I am not sure of…. @2WR “2 Wheeled Rider” would be the person to reach out to. He owns multiple KTM’s and works in all.

[@ktm1290adv]

For the 1290 Super adventure 2022 is the same ?

[@AdventureTomek]

I am not sure.
