Hey it's Friday, I don't see why some folks get so flustered over minor ********. I also thought this thread was pretty civil considering the past. Not sure why the OP took that position.
Stay Cool folks,

Nobody chastised the OP, I took his comment in the same spirit as everything else posted here...
Who's getting flustered?

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 to find all of the answers found by a search policeman. Actually that has never happened to me, but it really makes me hesitate to ask a question on the forum if my searches do not give me an answer. That is the end of my rant and I will quietly go back into my corner.
Hey Jer,
Go back and reread all the replies. I just did and I sure don't see where anyone said anything negatively, or about doing a search or it being common knowledge, or anything of that kind. I think we were all trying to be mostly helpful with your question along with a few jokes to each other about typos and "no need to change oil or coolant" thrown in. No need to walk softly around here, even on Fridays.

.. but I do see where Jer is coming from. There's little tolerance for "already answered many times" questions here. I don't mind - I used to run what is now one of the largest forums on the interwebs, so my skin is thick - but for most normal humans, draconian moderation will make them a bit reserved...

Change the coolant every two years, it's not rocket science, just do it and be happy! Or, don't bother, run the bike as long as you like with minimal maintenance and sell it on to some poor guy who will end up paying the price for your piss poor attitude to servicing, depends on how long you intend to keep the bike. Your choice. Ignore all the recommended service intervals and eventually even an fjr will fall apart, looked after, and it will go forever. Just saying.

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.

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.

Jer just because you did a search and did not find it, does not mean it has not been covered. You are looking for answers and thats what the forum is for so ask away. You will always get an answer but you will also get a little ribbing. Your turn will come if you stick around long enough
Easy Jer... I'm pretty sure that Snudge's reply was aimed at the post by Rob saying that he never changes his coolant, not your OP.
It would be helpful if people quoted the post they are replying to, any time it isn't the one immediately preceding.
Red of course. They repeat the colors every 18,900 years.

Not helped by the forum software no longer including the name and time of any quoted post, moaned about, but apparently nothing can be done.
Alleviated to some extent if we add that information manually, though copied timestamps are for the local timezone of whoever is doing the quoting, e.g I could put:

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.Jer just because you did a search and did not find it, does not mean it has not been covered.

Congrats Jer on a 75th Birthday,
If more people said what they feel this place might get to be more entertaining, at least more than it is already.
