H1 radiator filler cap
Ok, I know I'm not the sharpest tool but this one has me stumped. Where is the filler cap on the radiator on an H model. I'm used to the L model that has it nice a clear on the righthand side.

Re: H1 radiator filler cap
The manual shows a filler on the on side of the rad, but then mine is an H1 SP and has a small flat rad. Is the only filling method via the overflow bottle under the fuel tank?

Re: H1 radiator filler cap
i believe so. But really, if your bike is well mantained, there shouldnt be a regular need to keep filling it.

Re: H1 radiator filler cap
What they said, the H1 rad is sealed unit so when refilling from scratch you need to beeld at pump (if it has one) and keep the top of the reserviour bottle and top up until coolant returns back, workshop manual on the front of the site will confirm procedure, will need to swot up myself as build two will have the smaller H1 rad on it
Nothing worse than having an H and not being able to scratch it !
