Motorcycle cooling system repair

Category: Mechanical repair & servicing

Also known as: overheating repair, coolant leak repair, radiator repair, water pump replacement, thermostat replacement

Finding and fixing why a liquid-cooled bike overheats or keeps losing coolant. The system is pressure-tested to locate the leak, then whatever is at fault is replaced: a hose, the radiator, the water pump, the thermostat or a gasket. Draining and refilling the coolant on schedule is a separate, routine job.
