    Coolant change (2013 or newer)

    Thank you very much Art. I had it loose, but thought I would have to get pliars in there to turn the cap so I put the panel back with the idea of pulling the front panel off. I will try that again and see if I can get a hand on it. I believe you have to press down on the cap to get it loose.

    Coolant change (2013 or newer)

    I thought it was all light hearted unless you are planning on killing me before I reach 76. A guy can't say anything anymore without getting death threats. What is this world coming to?

    Coolant change (2013 or newer)

    Sath thanks for the information. I guess I will pull the front panel for the third time and see if the left panel can be modified to come out like the right panel after modification. Thanks for all of the happy birthday wishes. I was thinking only family and close friends cared. Of course I...

    Coolant change (2013 or newer)

    I have been on this forum for 8 years and have rarely posted an opinion and maybe I should have keep my opinions to myself, but it is probably too late for me to change. I am getting ready to leave for a breakfast one of my daughters is buying me in celebration of my 75th birthday.

    Coolant change (2013 or newer)

    Hey Snudge are you telling me I do not maintain my machine. I don't feel asking for an easy method of getting to the radiator cap is a piss poor attitude. You are the type I was referring to.

    Coolant change (2013 or newer)

    Hey post whore go back and read my post above yours. This whole thing from me was my hesitation to ask questions on the forum unless I was sure I had done a correct search. I appreciated all of the replies I received, but wanted to add the apprehension I feel when asking a question.

    Coolant change (2013 or newer)

    I would like to clarify my last post. I didn't mean to belittle any of the replies I received to my original question, especially Steve G. I meant to explain my hesitation to ask a question on this forum after using the search methods for fear of being told how stupid I am for not being able...

    Coolant change (2013 or newer)

    Valve check coming up next year so I will let the valve check people change the coolant. Thanks for all of the replies. I thought I did a good search, but I am always outsearched by the search police. No more questions from me on this forum.

    Coolant change (2013 or newer)

    Thanks Fred and I am still a fan of yours even though you made a small typing error. I was hoping to get this done without removing the center panel.

    Coolant change (2013 or newer)

    I planned to do a coolant change, but had problems removing the panel over the radiator cap. I removed all of the fasteners and pried the panel loose all but at the end at the large front panel. Being afraid of breaking the end off of the panel I gave up. Do you think the large front panel...

    Bargain Tire Review

    I ended up ordering a set of T30GT's for $249. The same tires I have of the bike presently. They do the job.

    Bargain Tire Review

    Update. I never received acknowledgment of my order for tires from Motorcycle Superstores and after calling they claim to have no knowledge of my order. The prices of the tires I ordered have gone back up to regular prices. Got to get busy finding another set.

    Idaho Photo Needed........

    Bargain Tire Review

    I just ordered a set for $141.98. This is the second year in a row when I have replaced half worn tires because I planned on a long trip and didn't want to have problems with tires. One of those sets were PR4's. I figure that if these tires don't last as long as the more expensive tires...

    Got Gas, Turn key on and BAM ! Nothing

    Is there a warranty on the battery. I traded my 07 FJR in on a new 2013 and it still had the original battery. I did keep it on a battery maintainer when sitting for more than a couple days.

    Selling a bike on Craigslist is an interesting adventure

    I have sold 5 0r 6 vehicles on Graigslist and have only had one problem. It was like Blassoff''s PayPal experience. I turned it into Paypal and they said it was a fraud and they would purse the fraudulator. Other than that I have sold the vehicles in less than an hour. Maybe I wasn't asking...

    A Rough week for man & beast

    Glad the pup is recovering and hope the tooth work comes out okay. I know a lot about how veterinarians pad charge for every little thing. Just like hospitals. I recently lost my 18 year old kittie after spending $1500 trying to save her.

    Wrecks comes in threes?

    I have been in that situation a couple of times lately. Caused by lack of attention, looking at something other than what is in front of me. I am making a vow to keep my attention to where I am going from now on.. I have been too lucky for that luck to last. This post makes me more determined...
