Hi guys I'm new here
Just wondering if anyone has a good way to turn the engine over without it starting? I've completely drained the oil and coolant and both radiators to replace that pesky o ring on the coolant pipe on the front of the engine. I plan on refilling both but I'd still rather not start it till I know both are properly full and running through the engine..
Thanks in advance!

What you describe is no different to what happens during an oil change or coolant replacement. If you were really fussy you could jumper the starter solenoid to spin the engine over without the ignition running. Or pull off the crank access cover and turn the motor over by hand (which would be MUCH easier if you take the spark plugs out first). Same result would happen if you put the bike in gear and push it around the driveway for a bit. But I would not bother, just let the bike idle to push the fluids around. |
