FOr those of you following my progress with my new yesterday Tiger, It spilled out some coolant when the radiator hose and clamp failed.

I, of course, thought this could be peplaced via addition of coolant into the expansion tank. When I rode the bike afterwards, it immediately overheated. I need to get coolant directly into the radiator.

How? THe book says 'via the thermostat housing'. Where's that? If it's that little center flange on the top of the radiator, how do you get at it to remove it?

THen how do you then introduce coolant into the radiator?
Do you just stand on the seat and piss down through cowling or is there a better technique to get at it?

Help, please.
