WATER WETTER in radiators

[russtman]

I am putting water wetter in for the track. I drained the antifreeze from the holding reservoir and then took both hoses off of the radiators and drained them as well. SO , I put the reservior back on ( as thats the only place to fill the radiators from ) and put the water wetter mixture in ---and started the bike , and it is not sucking the fluid into the radiators >???? Did I do something wrong or do I have to ride it some to get it hot and then put more in when is sucks it in ---or if it sucks it in??? PLEASE HELP

You fill the cooling system by removing the FILLER CAP off the right radiator, under the bodywork.........

AFTER you've filled the system and purged it of air, (by running the bike and cracking the throttle a few times) THEN you fill the overflow reservoir to the appropriate level, and recheck and top off when the bike is cold.

Let's hope you didn't run the engine too long without any coolant....

I applaud you for working on your own bike. But PLEASE pick up a service manual. Most procedures are spelled out and these guys can fill in any blanks…
