DIY flush coolant session

(Limit to 4 people due to sharing one coolant treatment bottle. However if can form 8 people, can share to get 2 bottles).

16/06/07 ard 4pm @ Jurong West st 65 Blk 659 MSCP (Z^^kia's place)

First bottle

1. Z^^kia (host for the day since doing at his MSCP)

2. WildCard (organizer)

3. DenverDino

4.

 

Second bottle (if can form 2nd group)

1.

2.

3.

4.

 

Please confirm as soon as possible as I am buying the coolant additive bottle by Friday evening. I have to set cutoff date by Friday noon.

Price is $20. So split 4 people is $5 each per group. Everyone to bring sufficient distilled water for their coolant use (3 bottles of 1.5litres is sufficient).

 

FAQ

1. Which coolant will we be using?

Its called WaterWetter. For more info, read here & here...

 

2. What is the procedure?

Very simple. First, we drain out the present coolant. Then we flush it with a 50-50 mix of water and vinegar. After which, we flush it with running water. Then seal all drainage ports before filling up with the new coolant in the mixture ratio I will inform everyone.

 

3. Why $5? What's the catch?

One bottle of 12oz (354.78ml) WaterWetter additive costs about $20. Split amongst 4 people is $5 each. One bottle can treat up to 15 quarts (14 litres) of distilled water. If memory serves me right, GSR coolant is about 3.1 litres. So it can safely split amongst 4 users with spare for the reservoir, spillage, etc. One WaterWetter coolant change can last up to manufacturer spec of 15,000 miles (24000+km). However, its recommended to change every 10000 - 15000 kms. The cost is so low yet the difference & protection is there.

 

4. Anything else I need to bring along?

a. Your basic tools. We will try to share tools to make sure everyone can get their bike open.

b. I (WildCard the organizer) will bring along a printed copy of the GSR600 tech manual in case there is any doubts on the method to open the bike.

c. Everyone expected to bring along their own supply of distilled water (Take note: I said distilled water & I mean distilled water. Make sure its not some mineral water named like those distilled water brand. You buy those drinkable distilled water at Guardian or Econ-Minimart for like $0.80 per bottle. Alternatively, you can get battery water at most hardware or petrol kiosks if you wanna be sure. But make sure its NOT tap or mineral water. Coke, Pepsi or Whatever also cannot use for the bike. But if you wanna buy them for the hardworking organizer, that would be excellent.

d. Vinegar. Preferably natural rice vinegar but artificial vinegar also can. Need quantity is half of radiator capacity. What's the vinegar for? To flush your radiator of any rust, algae, calc or growth that may have occured in your cooling circuit. Me & Z^^kia will fully brief everyone what's the step again before proceeding. In fact, I'll prolly demo my bike first before helping everyone else.

e. Yourself, most importantly. Without you, how to do?

 

5. How long will it take?

Dey, how many questions da?. By personal experience and estimation taking into account the Riemann-Zeta function & space-time warping probabilities, it will take about 40 minutes. 45 if you were are suffering a hangover from celebrating your latest modification with 2 jugs of pure grain alcohol.

 

Any enquiries, can post here or PM me.

 

Last important thing.. pls come with at least 1/2 tank of petrol.. cause we need to let the engine running when we doing Flashing

wat does balancing do btw? some say good some say no good...

 

 

he changi i tuas...

To wat i know.. balancing help cos yr wheel will rotate evenly.. or they sometime call "rotation"... but i only feel it for old big bike..

 

I'm going for ICT this Oct.. will go changi & Tuas... u guys onboard vessel?

[Rockford]

thanks rockford.

 

probably will stick to BT014 cos they worked fine for me. cos i don't track. the gisser is just my "carik makan" bike. i was thinking of michelins but what for? will be paying more for something which i won't fully utilise.

 

unless, if i plan to track, then might consider something more expensive.

Fully agree bro, BT014 is more than enough for street riding..

 

I've been using it even for my previous bike..

 

And my personal feel is... This bike is not that fun in track.. most of the time i ride there only.. afterall.. its a street naked bike..

[skateboy]

so after bike wash, then go for dinner? jurong west i damn far... like go to tuas like that... sigh...

[EJ]

EJ,

Balancing a tire is important,it will make your tire wear evenly and high speed will not wobble.

But HKL balancing not very good as they never take out the old weight from yr rims and they paste new ones on it.

I changed my there but the paste weights all flew off after one oversea trip.

Try to ask the mech to use those clip on weight.

I re-balance mine at racewerks for $15 per rim,this time get it rite by using those clips weights.

 

thanks james for the tips.

 

anyway, how about motoworld? i wouldnt mind paying more rather than having weights flying off my back wheel.
