    No, just refilled. How can i bleed the system?

    I think it's a Athena gasket, black one.

      @bananper you obviously have to mix some water into the coolant. Doubt concentrated coolant will cool very good.

            My Dt is overheating, i just changed the head bearing, and filled up the radiator with concentrated coolant.. without mixing water in it, could this be the reason?

                Now it's 50/50 mix, runs very well and cools good. But are there some bleeding screw or something to get rid of air? If so where do i find it?:)

                  @declan Is there some bleeding screw, only for air?

                    Nah just run the bike with the coolant cap off for a few moments. Give the bike some revs (the coolant impellor is fed off the crankshaft).

                      Top up the coolant and let the bike idle with cap off. Be patient, after a couple of minutes it will start to bubble. Then, a couple of minutes later, rev it slightly and watch more bubbles escape. I did this for a good 20 minutes. Note that there will be bubbles left, but once you get most out there should be no cooling problem.
