How To Flush & Change Motorcycle Coolant - GSXR750

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

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! ✌🏻

[@ChaseJasperDown]

This was a very good instructional video and almost seems universal to other bikes as well. Great video!

[@LetsgoBrandon2023]

Can you do a blinker fluid flush and change video?

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

@@ChaseJasperDown thanks man!

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

@@LetsgoBrandon2023 yessir you got it! 🤣

[@LetsgoBrandon2023]

@@SALTxTHExWOUND sweet can't wait for it Edit: lol

[@davidl8207]

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!

[@nikolamijuskovic7791]

Amazing content! More of mechanic Salt please! 🥺 It will be really useful for future bikers like myself 🙃

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

You got it Nikola! Thank you for watching bro!

[@iblacka1]

Changing the coolants easy part getting these damn fairings off the side with all these clips is a pain in the ass.

[@bencorder2544]

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!

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

You’re welcome Ben, thanks for watching!

[@bencorder2544]

SALTxTHExWOUND also does any engine ice work? Or is there a specific type like some coolants?

[@graindropz]

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!

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

Awesome! Glad I could help, and I appreciate the sub and view! 👍🏻

[@BOG3MA]

Actually been planning on doing this to my newly picked up 750, thanks brother🤙

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

No problem! Thanks for watching!

[@dripkidn.y.603]

Hey I've been thinking about doing this myself thanks for the content bro keep it pumping

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

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 👍🏻

[@TheFloridaBikeVlogger]

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.

[@GSXRAlstareK3]

I am about to drain and flush my GSXR as I am now switching to the non water based coolant. No pressure no corrosion and better cooling. I am using the Evans antifreeze and Evans flush once water is drained completly. Luckily I have a compressor which will help push all the H2o out completly. Still a good video for normal antifreeze change.

[@ReeseRides]

Suuuper helpful video!! Need to do mine before riding season really takes off. Thanks for posting this one!🙌🏻

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

Happy to help! It’s a very easy process, just take your time 😁👍🏻

[@richardsorrentino3762]

If you do the other side first with the hose that’s aiming downward it’s a lot easier to catch all the fluid without making a mess. Awesome video though! Love your page!

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

Thanks James! I’ll try that next time 👍🏻

[@Ruthlessbone]

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!

[@Socoolral]

Good video bro! Very helpful🤙🏼 I have to cut the rest of the video short. I’m at work😉 have a good day!

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

Haha understandable! Thanks for watching Raul!

[@Glories999]

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 😂

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

Thank you! And hmm strange, I’d remove every hose lower than the radiator cap myself

[@ryanschimming6055]

This video walked me through it on my 2012 Gsxr 750z thanks!

[@iblacka1]

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

[@israelestonina5949]

That is true. Peeps don’t forget to skip that process.

[@slyandlethal]

Where are they typically ?

[@jimamizzi1]

Do you no where the air bleed screw is on a 2011 600

[@rickygramos89]

Where is my bleeder on my 2012 750

[@Destructinator44]

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.

[@MiguelSanchez-tj8nu]

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

[@tooljunkie555]

So is this the same process for a 600 Gsxr?

[@LETUBME]

Great content👍🏾,..hopefully I’ll run into you guys on these Florida back roads one day. Located in Lakeland 💯

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

Thank you! And we’re bound to at some point! 👊🏻

[@apvlogs14]

nice information Man....Love the way u explained it

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

Thank you!

[@Tha1mikemike]

Just in time I was about to do this, thanks!

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

Thanks for watching!

[@israelestonina5949]

Thank you sir for making this video. Now it’s my turn to work on my baby 06 gsxr 750

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

You are welcome!

[@palerider6611]

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.

[@alanhenderson7579]

Great tutorial salt, would you flush after using liquid molly radiator repair?

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

Thank you! I don’t have any experience with that product unfortunately

[@cougarlopez]

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

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

Thank you! And just take your time, it's not a hard process at all. :)

[@gregschlaifer]

There is a bleeder screw on the back of the thermostat everyone seems to neglect.

[@jimamizzi1]

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

[@johnparsons5104]

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

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

You can most likely wait, I know guys that ride theirs on the street and only change it every 5 years.

[@johnparsons5104]

Thanks, salt@@SALTxTHExWOUND

[@tommyrox8789]

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.

[@IceBloodedZero]

Can I apply this to an 07 GSXR 750? Are the systems similar?

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

Yes, they are very similar 👍🏻

[@NightWear21]

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..

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

Nothing you can't restore, good luck bro!

[@romey-o8934]

Great vid man!

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

Thank you!

[@606curvekillas7]

Should this be done on say a 2020 with only 3500 miles or should I be good for another summer ????

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

No You'll be fine, if you're just riding the street I'd say every 2 years or 10,000 miles roughly

[@606curvekillas7]

@@SALTxTHExWOUND thanks man 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻

[@MotoFlows]

Does the engine ice really help lower temps?

[@TheFloridaBikeVlogger]

does the 750 doesn't have bleeder screen to get the air out?

[@AdVan82]

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.

[@TheFloridaBikeVlogger]

@@AdVan82 exactly. i was shocked he didn't do that..

[@Dr.SauceBoss]

Hey, what should I check first if my radiator fan isn't rotating?

[@acp2597]

Every how long do you change coolant on bike

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

I believe most manufacturers recommend every 2 years but I’d personally say 3-4 years myself.

[@retiredofwtwo7333]

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

[@cruzodom8368]

Y’all ever gonna ride towards Pensacola??

[@BJJNINJA215]

Very informative 👍

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

Thanks Mac!

[@TheFloridaBikeVlogger]

just was telling myself I needed to do this

[@soulunleash1872]

Good job man on doing that I would have had that shit everywhere lol

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

Haha thanks man! 😂

[@saltyprocrastinator]

Salt, how are you getting rid of the old coolant?

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

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.

[@marcinka1483]

Can you send a link to the crash pads?

[@JimyOfficial]

Hey bro do you know if a 05 gsxr 600 radiator would fit on a 06 600?

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

I believe it would, if I'm not mistakes the k5 and k6 were nearly the same

[@JimyOfficial]

@@SALTxTHExWOUND thanks man! Do you know if Amazon or eBay parts are good?

[@tcmproperties3020]

What do you do with the old coolant

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

Feed it to your neighbors. lol I kid, dispose it at your local dump.

[@ianrussell2816]

Good job bro 👍✌️

[@joemommaganja]

is getting to 230 at a stop too hot for these bikes

[@Bow-to-the-absurd]

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

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

I have to agree lol the New Z’s we got are so nice with no plastics in the way 🙌🏻

[@603mike]

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.

[@jasonedmundson6299]

I have a 2018 gsxr1000 and it’s fairings are the easiest plastics to take off than any bike that I have had!

[@seekter-kafa]

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

[@ricardo6861]

Theres really no need 2 do this! Or convince me!
