Suzuki GSX-R 1000 Service Manual: Cooling system inspection
Inspect cooling system
every 6 000 km (4 000 miles, 6 months)
Replace engine coolant
every 2 years
Engine coolant level inspection
- Hold the motorcycle vertically.
- Check the engine coolant level by observing the “f” and “l” lines on
the engine coolant reservoir tank. If the level is below the “l” line, add
engine coolant to the “f” line from the engine coolant reservoir tank filler
(1) behind the right side cowling. Refer to “exterior parts removal and
installation” in section 9d .
Engine coolant change
Refer to “engine coolant description” in section 1f .
Do not open
the radiator cap when the engine
is hot, as you may be injured by escaping hot
liquid or vapor. Engine coolant may be
harmful if swallowed or if it comes in contact
with skin or eyes. If engine coolant gets into
the eyes or in contact with the skin, flush
thoroughly with plenty of water. If swallowed,
induce vomiting and call physician
immediately. |
- Remove the right side cowling. Refer to “exterior parts removal and
installation” in section 9d .
- Remove the radiator cap (1).
- Drain engine coolant by disconnecting the radiator
outlet hose (2) and cylinder inlet hose (3).
- Flush the radiator with fresh water if necessary.
- Reconnect the hoses.
- Pour the specified engine coolant up to the radiator
inlet.
Engine coolant capacity (excluding reservoir)
2 500 ml (2.6/2.2 Us/lmp qt)
- Bleed air from the cooling circuit.
- After changing engine coolant, reinstall the removed
parts.
Air bleeding from the cooling circuit
- Remove the side cowlings. Refer to “exterior parts
removal and installation” in section 9d (page 9d-
6).
- Add engine coolant up to the radiator inlet.
- Support the motorcycle upright.
- Slowly swing the motorcycle, right and left, to bleed
the air trapped in the cooling circuit.
- Add engine coolant up to the radiator inlet.
- Start up the engine and bleed air from the radiator
inlet completely.
- Repeat the procedures 5) to 6) until no air bleeds
from the radiator inlet.
- Lift and support the fuel tank. Refer to “fuel tank
removal and installation” in section 1g (page 1g-
9).
- Loosen the air bleeder bolt (1) and (2), then check
the engine coolant flows out.
- Tighten the air bleeder bolt.
Tightening torque
water pump air bleeder bolt: 13 n·m (1.3 Kgf-m,
4.5 Lbf-ft)
- Close the radiator cap securely.
- After warming up and cooling down the engine
several times, add the engine coolant up to the full
level of the reservoir.
Caution
make sure that the radiator is filled with
engine coolant up to the reservoir full level. |
- Reinstall the removed parts.
Radiator hose inspection
Check the radiator hoses for crack, damage or engine coolant leakage. Refer
to “water hose inspection” in section 1f .

time you ride
Most accidents occur within a few
miles of home, and almost half
occur at speeds of less than 30
mph. So even if you're just going
on a quick errand, be preparedstrap
