    and just get new oil its pointless reusing it honestly. what bike is it?

    if its a runner then bleed the coolant off the litle nipple on the head just undo it with an 8mm spanner til it hisssis, then when water starts coming out tighten it up. and with oil theres a small screw youll notice just below where the oil pipe goes into the oil pump behind the transmission case, undo that til oil has filled up the pipe leading to it with no air bubbles

    Don't be a tight bastard.
    Buy new lubricants etc.
    Just hope a rat doesn't fall in your bucket of oil LOL

    noooo. lol i dont mind buyin new oil. lol. thats not the case.

    i have a jog rr (minerlli) or how ever u spell it.
    so ill connect the 2stoke pipes back up and pour the *new* oil into the tank. then does tis need bleeding?

    for the water i cant see a bleed nipple. it should be on the water pump casing yes? thanks
