coolant

I took my Max out for a ride the other day and stopped by my parents house. My Pop took it for a spin and when he came back I noticed coolant leaking out of the P hole in the bottom of the water pump housing. After further inspection I noticed scratches and scrape marks on the water pump housing...

Hi folks, I'm new to the forum and am wondering if anyone can help me out. I decided to attempt to do some maintenance by myself on my '92 V-max last weekend (I know, could be a dangerous proposition!) Before I read the manual (I know, could be dangerous...) I saw the plastic "what looked...

Do you gents have to tighten your coolant hoses very often? On my 05 I have noticed at the beginning of my riding seasons they need to be tightened as 1 or 2 will be found leaking around the fitting. O

Hey all, I am flushing my coolant this weekend and when I removed the reservoir to clean it, there was what looked like algae inside. I filled with 50/50 distilled water and vinegar, let it sit and flushed it out. Didn't look any different. Any ideas on how to get this junk out? Thanks.

Anyone ever seen purple coolant???? I've started my valve adjustment and drained the coolant in order to remove some hoses for better access... anyway, I removed the bottom drain plug and a very purpleish coolant came out. after the initial draining I turned the drain fitting on the front...

Ok so I just bought a 97 max with 14000 miles. I had it running but it was idleing rough so I decided to clean the carbs. With the carbs off I looked down into the motor and noticed a small amount of green fluid sitting on top of the intake valves. The coolant level is still full and the oil...

Hiya all. During my weekly check this morning I noticed that there was oil in my coolant reservoir. The coolant is all milky and there is oil around the edges of the reservoir. The oil level doesn't seem high and the oil doesn't seem milky so I don't think there is coolant in the oil. The...

So not knowing the last time previous owner changed the coolant I decided it was time to tackle this job and thought it would be a good idea to document the process since I didn't see it anywhere on the forum. This is also documented on the service manual section 4-2 (coolant). Here's the...

Everything I've ever read regarding flushing you coolant says to put the rad cap on start up the engine, warm it up, let it cool, drain, rinse, repeat, yadda yadda.... I've always left the rad cap OFF. The engine heats up faster, I don't have to wait for it to cool down to pop the cap off...

Ok, so I checked on my stored 88 vmax last night ans I noticed there was an antifreeze leak under it, after investigating it I found that it is comming from that plastic valve located behind the front tire, looks like a drain valve, is this a common problem , and is there a simple fix without...

Apparently coolant is leaking from the crankcase breather housing. If I ride like this, is it possible for air and oil to mix in there somehow?

Greetings from the still snow covered state of Utah! Sun is peaking through today so I decided to take the Max off the battery tender and fire it up. Coolant began leaking from the right front cylinder weep hole so I shut it down and started investigating... Pulled the plug out and found the...
