Happy to announce that the bike is now repaired.

Spring inside tensioner had snapped right at the very end. Bent the last loop on the coil into shape, reinstalled.

Works fine now.

Will order another tensioner should the repair cause a problem or not last.


Engine has zero noise now - all exhaust note baby.

Re: bleeding coolant

Someone else mentioned bleeding the coolant pump. I take it that it's a matter of popping the radiator cap, then cracking the bleed bolt on the pump until I get coolant through? The idea being, to remove any air pockets in the system?



Also, anyone in Canterbury - I could really use some help sorting my brakes on both bikes. I'm not happy with them and someone with more experience might be able to fill & bleed better. Had a play with this bikes yesterday, and now the lever is bottoming before the pads fully lock the front wheel up.

There will be a small bolt in the top of the pump, undo it and air then water will come out. Once water has come out. Bled!

Pump is located on side of engine near the front drive sprocket. Bleed bolt is more on the side then the top

Part 15 bleed bolt

[NinjaNanna]

I think that's the drain plug. Either way no point messing about crack it a little wait til water weeps out then nip it up tight again. Done

[The Lone Rider]

That 100% is the drain plug, I've already drained the old stuff from there.

Not to mention the service manual say it is.


It just didn't say anything about filling it back up or getting rid of air pockets.

I don't think it has a pump bleed by the look of that diagram

As for the brakes, bleed them by starting at the banjo bolts, mastercyl, line splitter, calipers then bleed the calipers themselves.
You may need to check the level in the MC isn't on the piss as that'll cause air locks in the master.
Then take the calipers off and move them around a bit incase it has silly little air pockets floating around.
