Hoping someone can help. Bought a 2008, 125 GTV and on its 2nd outing, one of the coolant pipes that runs around the carb split. Lost all my fluid and got her hot.

Replaced the pipe and just want to know what's the best way to bleed the system to make sure there are no air locks.

I'm pretty sure the system in a 125 Leader is self-bleeding. So fill up, go for a 10 minute ride, let it cool down and top up again if necessary.

I'll add - there seems to be no reference to bleeding the coolant in the workshop manual:
