How to Replace or Top Up the Coolant on a KTM Motorcycle

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Antifreeze coolant

Video tutorial

The first warning, which may seem trivial - but it isn’t - is to check the coolant with the engine cold. Check if there is coolant, which is specific for cooling, and also acts as a lubricant.

So do not use just water as the ferrous parts will oxidise. Be careful as there are two radiators, and when adding the coolant, air often forms in the left radiator.

You should tilt the motorcycle significantly to the left so that the air can transfer to the other side. Then top up again.

Some models have a bleed screw specifically for this service, located right at the top of the reservoir. If air remains in the radiator, the coolant will have more difficulty circulating and will create foam that can cause damage.

The coolant should be changed once a year, as it degrades over time.
