What did you do to your bike today?

Was planning a ride put this evening, so nipped to the garage to top up the air in my slow punctured rear... decided to check the coolant, as the fans have kicked in a few times recently (just chalked it up to the weather), and the expansion tank is dry as a bone :eek:

Nothing leaked out, so either these 890s love burning off coolant, or maybe the garage didn't top it up fully.

Crush washer and a bottle of coolant ordered, as I had neither on hand, so might as well do a full flush tomorrow - probably find it's got water in it or something daft.

I’d go for the later, no way should it go through a tank of coolant.
Well, the bleed screw has never been off the bike, so it looks like they maybe just topped it off (at best).

Just did a full flush and clean, ran it through with 5 lots of distilled water, then put new coolant in - will take it for a local shakedown tomorrow, ensuring it's all good. But no leaks in the garage, so hopefully it's all good
