How to replace or top up the coolant on a KTM motorcycle

The first warning, which might seem trivial - but it's not - is to check the coolant with a cold engine. Let's check if there is the liquid, which is specific for cooling, which is also a lubricant. So don't just use water because the ferrous parts oxidize. Be careful because there are two radiators and therefore when we put the liquid, air often forms in the left radiator. We therefore have to tilt the bike significantly to the left, so that the air can transfer to the other side. Then we top up again. Some models have a bleed screw, just for this service, placed right on the apex of the cup. If the air remained in the radiator, the liquid would have more difficulty turning and would create a foam which would cause damage. However, the liquid must be changed once a year, because it decays over time.

How to replace the rear wheel on the BMW F800 GS

In this video tutorial we will see how to remove and replace the rear wheel of the BMW F800 GS motorcycle, following these simple steps. First of all we put our bike on the central stand and start by unscrewing the fixing screws of the brake caliper, in order to remove it; then we use a socket wrench with extension to unscrew the central pin of the wheel, in order to remove it, as shown in the video. At this point we are going to replace, if necessary, the brake disc or the rear tire; then we reassemble everything, applying the reverse procedure!
