I'm Replacing a radiator on my em1
And I don't see a bleeder valve on the
Neck like most hondas!!
Does it bleed else where .... Or just fill
With water and go??

there is no bleeder valve...you must fill and leave cap off and run engine allowing bubbles to come up to top of radiator therefore bleeding system of air bubbles.

DO NOT FILL & GO....WILL OVERHEAT.

fill it, leave the cap off, crank it, let it run till the thermostat opens and then add a little more coolant, you should be good when you see no more air bubbles

I could have swore there was a 'bleeder valve' on the housing on the block were the hose from radiator goes to motor

maybe im wrong.. o well
