Please excuse my ignorance, but have some questions. I only have experience with air cooled bikes, so the liquid cooled is new to me.
I am wondering about refilling the coolant. I emptied everything including reservoir.
I refilled the res to the line....easy peasy.
I poured coolant into the rad mouth under the fuel tank, slowly as told.

Now here I am reading/hearing about water pump bleed bolt and radiator bleed cap....where are these or is that guide for a 1500?

Plus am trying to be sure there is no air pockets, so I turned on the bike with the rad cap off as multiple vids say to do and I get coolant spouting out of the rad mouth like a fountain.
I did this twice thinking it was expelling air, but have come here now as I am tired off wiping up coolant.
The service manual just says refill slowly, cap on and done with it....
Thanks!
