+ - Remove the radiator cap<br>
+ - Top up the radiator<br>
+ - Leave the cap off (counter intuitive, I know.)<br>
+ - Lean the bike as far as you can to the left (just before the fairing touches the ground)<br>
+ - Stand it up<br>
+ - Top up the radiator<br>
+ - Lean the bike as far as you can to the right
+ - Stand it up<br>
+ - Top it up again<br>
+ - Replace the radiator cap</p>
+
+<p>NB: As you lean the bike over, you will hear the trapped air rising to the top.</P>

+<p><a href="https://youtu.be/P9Q5frI5_T8" target="_blank">Follow this link to YouTube for a better method, using vacuum, which can be done without help</a></br>
+You'll need a vacuum pump (like you would use to bleed brake lines), a modified radiator cap, some hoses and catch tank.</p>
+<p><a href="https://youtu.be/ndKgIeGFcRQ" target="_blank">Follow this link to YouTube for an even better method, using a bleed hose</a></br>
+For this to work, you must removed the degas hose from the thermostat housing to the radiator cap, and seal off that nipple using a short piece of hose with a
+ stopper in it. A new hose is added at the thermostat housing which leads to the right side of the frame just above the engine, but inside the fairing. That hose
+ has a brass stopper in it, with a nylon washer & M3 screw to seal it off. It becomes the bleeder. Attach a clear hose to the end of the bleeder (with the screw
+ removed) and take it higher than the radiator cap, then down to a catch bottle. As you fill the system from the cap, the coolant will rise until it appears in
+ the clear bleed hose. As air escapes, it bubbles up through that hose. Squeezing the radiator outlet hose will eject air from that airlock to the radiator.
+ When no more bubbles show up, the system is airlock free and the bleed hose can be resealed./p>
+
+<p>The radiator cap pressure is 1.4 (units?), and the seal is 25mm (not the original 22mm, which leaked)</P>

+<P><STRONG>While we're on the subject - Topping Up</STRONG><br>
+The manual will tell you to keep the overflow reservoir between the min. & max. marks - don't
+ bother. It'll only be there when it's hot - if it feels like it. If you are just under max when
+ cold, when the engine warms up, the Tre will dump it on the ground, or more correctly, over the engine - see
+ below - unless you add some hose to it to let it discharge through the side aperture of the bottom fairing.<br>

+This is a view of the end of the overflow pipe on my Tre. Just behind #3.</center></p>
+<P>Check the fluid level the easy way - only when cold, and then by removing the radiator cap.
+ You may see the fluid just below the cap seal. If not, add a little. It's probably lurking in the
+ transfer tube, and will only take a thimble full.</P>
