Hey everyone
I was hoping to tap into your knowledge...
I recently purchased a '97 TL 1000s. The bike shop said that it was serviced recently... The condition of the oil tells me otherwise. So I want to change the oil, filter etc. The only thing stopping me is the fact that this bike has an oil cooler and I was wondering whether it is necessary to bleed the cooler after changing the oil or not? and if so where is the bleed point etc etc.

Any help much appreciated

Thanks
Chris

No.

It is a very straight forward process. Only trick is don't fill the oil to the top of the view glass, they hate that.

Fill it to approx half.

No sweat Chris I will send that info to you tomorrow.

Have you got a dvd reader on your computer or do I have to burn a cd?
