    hey fellow riders, is there a good cheap (or free if possible) way to clean out a cooling system to make sure theres no sludge build up in the channels in the cylinder and waterpump area, radiator is fairly clean and will have new hoses... I'm just wanting to make sure its all cleaned out properly 100% first, I had kinda thought maybe I could run a hose down through the head where radiator return pipes come out and let it flow out the waterpump possibly assisted with some product of some kind if needed.. but I'm not sure if that's even possible without damage or anything ?

    50/50 distilled water & white vinegar run through engine for 5mins then let cool then straight distilled water run for 5mins then let cool then normal coolant. Good to go

    Haha yeah there was a thread on here years ago about it.

    Vinegar is a mild acid I believe so works well but really unless ya bike has been sitting for a long time it shouldn't be too bad
