Well , building it up slowly and ended up at coolant section so far. Just want to be 100% sure - the hose from radiator that going to expansion tank joins on bottom of tank and the top one is breather hose that ends up under engine? Forgot what way it was before...

@Zrako If you think about it, it's obvious.
If it fed in through the top it would immediately drip out.
So you feed it in through the bottom, if it feeds in too much the overflow at the top will allow it drip out, usually an indication when the head gasket has failed.
So yes, from the radiator to the bottom of the expansion bottle.

Well , bike is like 95% finished. Bearings sorted from wemoto , all new shiny stainless fasteners everywhere. Tried to exchange every possible nut bolt and washer. Just waiting for new chain
First start of the bike , changed the engine oil lines for clear ones too and they are awesome and usefull. My pump needs bled and small coolant leak from top of the head. Hopefully only carb warming screw needs the copper washer
If you see anything on the video strange and suspicious please let me know

@Mightyman yes , too much hassle with it so keep it stock. Defo need the forks as the stanchions are badly dented. Maybe leave it for winter... btw no leaks at all now

@Calum the previous owner decided to cut it out for some strange reasons. A small bit left of the snorkel on the filter housing. The powervalve resets nice and freely when I turn the key. Should I take the exp. pipe off and inspect it ? Im just cleaned it from carbon and put it back on right order as per haynes manual and set the cable tension...
