I'm in the process of replacing the antifreeze in my RT. I'm following the instructions in the Clymer's manual... did the drain of cylinders, both radiators, and reservoir. I'm in the process of refilling. Tipped the bike on the side stand, waggled it back and forth, poured in coolant very slowly. The manual say's it take 1.75 liter... it will only take 1.25 thus far. As per instructions, I ran the bike up to operating temp, shut it down and added perhaps another .1 liter. Ran it again... still not taking anymore.
Feeling the left radiator... it's cool whereas the right is warm, so it seems no coolant is getting to the left side. I tried burping again, squeezed the lines, nope... can't get any any more fluid in.
Has anyone run into this? Seems like there's an airlock but I don't know how to remedy it other than draining the system (at least the left side) again...
Thanks for your experience and wisdom in advance!
