How to Coolant Flush a Yamaha FZ6

In this video I will show you how to flush, refill and bleed the cooling system on a 2007 Yamaha FZ6. This process is very similar to many other motorcycles and small car engines with mechanical water pumps. This is a very easy job that anyone could do in their driveway, minimal tools are needed.

Things you'll need:
Antifreeze
Water wetter
Phillips screw driver

Git an fz6 a few months ago and as a relatively new rider your channel is a life saver

Me again, coolant is nice and black. Did a few jobs with the help of your videos. About to do one more!

I just finished the changing the coolant on my FZ6N 2006. My overflow tank was at the back of the motor near the back spring under the tank. Thanks for the vid helped me alot, but I spilled alot of flued when I realed the coolant cap... It was a heavy flow. Drained it, flushed it twice, ran the the motor a bit and filled it up a bit and flushed it with the new coolant. Then filled it up and ran the motor for 5min with some revving to get all the air out. Then closed it all up. Thanks for your video, helped alot.

Great video, I bought this bike recently second hand and I noticed its temps were weird and I found your video.

[salbrookstone]

[pedalandpop]

Great video as usual mate, i've just bought a mint condition '05 and am learning a lot thanks to you, can't wait for spring!!!

[thedude]

I love your videos man! Ive learned so much from them on maintaining my FZ6. Im changing out my coolant as we speak. It was very brown so for my first flush I used distilled water and distilled vinegar to descale it a bit. Waiting now to do maybe another 1 to 2 flushes with distilled water. Easy job but its a bit of a waiting game and its messier than I thought haha.

[amirayadi]

You worked hard for it, i feel bad you only got 14 view, but hey don't give up mate i will subs to you

[willch]

You're such an amazing person for this.

[Godisandrogynous]

I’ll be subscribing and hope you can drop some more knowledge on maintaining an fz6, thank you sir! I’ve only had my bike for under a month so maybe I’ve gotten used to bad spark plugs and will get to enjoy the bike running much better! Hopefully will see tmw

[melexdy]

Thanks for posting. I need to change my coolant soon and I needed a guide.

Btw use some autosol to clean the exhaust pipes. :P

[thekbshouse]

Maintenance book I got for the bike instructed to flush the system through the pumps drain while topping up with tap water with hose until the water coming out is clear & do this every 3 years.

[TheFlawlessray]

Thanks for the animal tips at the end. Good to know.

[JustLucasRacing]

[volkangul]

[Mikethebike]

[Godisandrogynous]

Hey bro!! Thank you for this and your other video!

[Rancid_Ninja]

This bike isn't supposed to use that Yamaha blue coolant? Will be doing this next spring probably with the blue stuff

[SimonHaavik]

Hey, great video! I did all the same as you did in the video. Still, my coolant won't move from the radiator to the reservoir. My radiator is full, the tubes and cap seems alright. Any idea what it could be? Water pump? And should I add coolant to the reservoir?
