Obviously I'm doing something wrong and have drained and filled coolant on several bikes before. Still didn't put much more coolant in (maybe an ounce), squeezed the hoses again, and put a few tablespoons more of coolant.
Removed the tank again and tried to put more coolant in. Ok, put the tank back on and fired it up with the cap off to see if the bike would push some of the air out. I massaged some of the hoses and got some bubbles out, but still didn't put that much coolant in. That ain't right, a couple of quarts came of that system not so long ago. Went to fill at the radiator cap (which is not really on the radiator, and which you can only access with the tank off.thanks Indian) and probably added a few tablespoons of coolant before it reached the top of the neck. I filled the reservoir which is some sort of torture device.think of trying to give a drink to an elephant using a straw. Put the radiator back in with all hoses connected. By the way, that was a pain in the butt since I have floorboard mounts, along with the sidecar mounting bracket, and the stock foot peg mounts.and have to remove those first to get at the bolts to the radiator bracket.Īnyway the radiator was removed and the hole drilled, sidecar mounted. It's not that easy to get to one of the spring clips that hold the hoses on, so disconnected the radiator bracket to move the radiator and get to one. You have to disconnect a lower hose to get the coolant out. Simple solution: remove the radiator right? No problem there, though it's odd there is no drain petcock or bolt. Well it was a large size hole and I was worried about nicking the radiator. It's the front aluminum casting that some people confuse with a radiator shroud since the radiator is mounted inside it. So I had to drill a hole in the frame of the Scout to mount the sidecar.

Does anyone know how to bleed the cooling system effectively?
