      Not hard at all. You can do it.

      It's pretty easy just 2 bolts, good time to do your spark plugs as they are right under the tank

    When Japann subcontracts simple maintenance to German designers.
    Why not a drain and accessible filter without disassembly.

    Well done. As previously stated run dngine to operating temperature prior to replacing cover plate to ensure coolant level is correct ( not that the be too much difference). Great guide and found the video very real and informative 👍. Great job mate

    shouldn't you run the bike after filling coolant tank before putting covers back on to make sure coolant is at correct level?

      I took a ride and checked it after. I was still within range so I didnt go back in. Thanks for the comment. I should have put that in the video.

    How do you know how much coolant to put in the radiator?

  • @haileyryan2405
    @haileyryan2405 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    If you take the drain bolt first before the pressure cap it won't leak as much

    What year is yours? Mines a 2011, 8500 miles on it. I"ve been looking for videos on how to do this and finally found yours. I'm not able to check the level cause I can't find it. But, 2011 and I've never changed the coolant so far so...figure I should by now right ? Another guy told me it's fine so...not sure what I should do. I also found..kinda oily drops but they dry and leave slight stain on the concrete...coming off the rectifier cover...so it's close to the oil filter area which gets a little oily grimey but..it's not what's dripping or it's a mix of something with a tiny bit of oil......

      Thanks for watching. Mine is a 2008. I just changed mine because I figured it could use it and I was bored. The level on yours should be good if you're not overheating or draining (overflow) a lot.

    And how do you get all the air bubbles out.

    • @dukedonotti
      @dukedonotti 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Run the engine and it will happen automatically. Air will dump into the reservoir and coolant will be taken up in its place. 👍

      @t.j.postal8309  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Pretty sure I ran it and didn't have to add more.

    nice vid! one of the best on this. what antifreee do u recommend 50/50, any suggestions? Can we use car antifreee green or red on older v900s? also, anything we should b worried about when moving tank, dont want dislocated any hoses underthere? Thanks!

    • @t.j.postal8309
      @t.j.postal8309  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Pretty sure I used 50/50. Green color. I had enough clearance with hoses when I lifted my tank. don't need to go very high. Thanks for watching.
