Hi Fellows,
I have a minor coolant leak (I think its the water cylinder/maybe pump?) after the hoses on nearside. It's one of the bottom bolts. Anyway cut a long story short....I have an aim to try Holts Radweld Plus, I've already flushed the system. I have done a similar operation to my van and its perfectly safe to use with the whole cooling system-not sure about a bike though?!?
I presume it's ok to give it a go?
Before I can progress onto my step I need to establish a) capacity of the radiator and b) capacity of the whole cooling system. Then I can work out the full volume?
Any guidance appreciated.

Re: Coolant Capacity/Radweld Operation
Have a look in the manual, im pretty sure it specifies the volume of fluid you need.

Re: Coolant Capacity/Radweld Operation
capacity of the radiator is ~2L, the whole cooling system and expansion bottle is as chris said, 2.3L.
