One of the 1985 atc 250r s that i bought had little or possibly no radiator fluid in it :eek: not good.
When i got it home, i put some 50/50 radiator fluid in it, started it with the radiator cap off (like the manual says), let it warm up for a good five minuets, put the cap back on and then let the bike cool down. Since i have ridden the bike for about a month. I haven't ridden it very hard though, maybe 30 min at a time.
The guy i bought it from had it sitting in his shed for a few years. he lives in a residential area and hasn't ridden it for a while. So I'm hoping that it wasn't ran too long with little or no fluid.
Is there anything i should be worried about at this point? It seems to be running fine. Am i missing anything that i should be doing?
I put fluid directly in the radiator and in the overflow bottle.
