2013 F800GT, 44xxx miles. Does the radiator have to be drained & removed to check valve clearance? I’m attempting to do a valve check but I can’t move the radiator out of the way. According to the Haynes manual I’ve removed the necessary fasteners, not the hoses because I don’t want to change the coolant at this point, but the radiator doesn’t budge to allow removal of the radiator heat shield.
I just got this bike and there’s no record that the valves have been checked so I wanted to take advantage of the Winter to get it ready for Spring. Service access is not a strong point of this bike.
