There appears to be an air bubble in the coolant system preventing it from being topped off. Tried running it, and %26quot;blipping%26quot; the throttle, but I can't get the bubbles out. How else can I get the bubbles out??? Please only serious answers. Thanks! =D2001 Honda shadow (motorcyle).....having trouble changing the coolant....help??!!??Hold the bike level (as if you were sitting on it).
While the engine is cold, remove the radiator cap and top it up with coolant.
Leave the radiator cap off.
Start the bike and let it run.
As the coolant circulates, any air pockets will eventually make it to the radiator cap opening and escape.2001 Honda shadow (motorcyle).....having trouble changing the coolant....help??!!??The guy that hosts these pages is an aircraft mechanic that does his own work.
If his advice doesn't do it you probably don't have a problem.
You may need to ride it till the fan comes on.
