When you handle the new rad place a blanket under the bike area where it goes, and still don't drop it!

Make sure the drain plug is snugg, in other words tighter than finger tight. Test this by trying to remove it with your fingers. Seems to me all Nomads come off the show room floor with less than finger tight drain plugs.

pull the lower left water pump bolt, to drain the pump. Smear some of that silicon neat that bolt head on the install.

With the rad in place and filling open the top left pump bolt to let air out. You might pull that bolt when the system is empty and smear on the same sealer so it will be there when you want to bleed the pump.

With the rad filled by eye and cold, place the cap on then squeeze the bottom rad hose hard several times, pull the cap and add more coolant. Maybe do that again, and last open the bleeder at the T stat housing.

Fill the rad so it almost over flows, then fill the rez, repeat the lower rad hose squeeze, with the hope to over come the cap a little and get the rex line filled.

Fire the engine to full warm, ck the coolant level in the rez. Go ride if you plan to, but the next time the engine is cold check the rez again and top it off cold only.
