I recently did a coolant change on my NT700, and thought I'd pass along an easy method for filling the system. Lisle Tools make this handy fill funnel for car use, but it works just fine on the NT700. You will need two extra o-rings to get the fitting to seat tightly in the coolant neck before you install the cap adapter, I used some spare AC o-rings. See the attached pictures. By the way, somebody else had posted that there is an error in the service manual about draining the coolant. Whoever it was is correct, there is only one drain bolt, and it is the lowest one on the water pump.

By the way, now is a good time to replace the radiator cap. These age over time and the spring and rubber seals get weak.
