Coolant Leak

[ST1100Y]

I have changed my air filter and put the tank and handlebars back on

a) why the handlebar off??
b) when already in that deep anyway, I would have also removed the air-box and the throttle bodies... that's like 10 minutes more work...

why the handlebar off??

Motorcycle Larry risers...pull the bars back just enough to be in the way

O-rings successfully in thanks to my wife, Joy's help plus a dental floss hack

Flush done, now new thermostat and thermostat cover and rubber, top radiator hose and cap

Then the party of replacing tupperware

Before you get carried away on reinstalling the tupperware. Fire it up and bring it to operating temperature and check for any leaks. Blip the throttle several times and shut it down, let it cool and top off the fluids in the radiator and coolant recovery tank.

That dental floss trick is something I need to remember. A lot less room on the 1100 engine...
