Coolant. I drive my Vmax now for 11 years, at all speeds, revs & weatherconditions. Never changed anything but the engine oil, oil- & airfilter.
Gerard. Netherlands Sheesshh. My spelling's being corrected by a damn furener ;-) Shouldn't that be I drove my Vmax? Or actually you drive a car. You ride a bike. So maybe rode would be more appropriate. :-) It was a pretty funny scene when I did drain that slippery green stuff. Place bucket under drain bolt. Unscrew drain bolt. Coolant slowly dribbles out. Hmmmm, what's wrong with this picture? Oh yeah, must open radiator cap. Go to other side of bike. Removes radiator cap. Slowly dribbling coolant instantly becomes solid stream shooting 3-4 feet horizontally from bike and completely overshooting my bucket. Moment of indecision. Close radiator cap? Move bucket? Close radiator cap? Move bucket? I think I finally opted to move the bucket after half the coolant was all over the garage floor. Rick Shade Tree Mechanic
