RE: Coolant (Brand/Type/etc) - 2

I'm thinking that there are many scenarios with this bike where, after my warranty expires, I'll order backup parts and experiment with mods that might prove beneficial 'round here.

Example A: create a fully functional site "glass" (clear plastic) section of the coolant container for easier inspection. All it would require is careful measuring and an extremely carefully selected glue + marine sealant.

Let’s be honest.

Kneeling down to look in the sight glass each morning is easy. If you see oil then you’re good to go. If no oil puddle on the floor then all is well. And will probably be OK tomorrow and the next day.

Looking for a water level is not so easy. But if all was well yesterday and there’s no puddle on the floor, then probably all is well and you’re good to go today.

I suspect that those of us with a 4 wheeled vehicle don’t think twice about jumping in, day after day, and just driving the bloody thing without fretting about fluid levels.

Why do we fret so much about our 2 wheelers?

When I acquire a vehicle I check things frequently till I Get To Know It, then the frequency of checking things gets less and less.

Modern vehicles tend to retain their fluids from day to day, start and stop as required, so we can spend more time riding them than maintaining them.

But never skimp on maintenance
