Easy Way To Add Coolant

[Bust-A-Cap]

I needed to add coolant to the antifreeze tank but I didn't like the possibility of having to remove the left side fairing to do it. I got around that cumbersome task by using the same fuel filler that nitro radio control car enthusiasts use to add fuel to the tanks of their cars. You can get one at most hobby shops where they sell rc cars or planes and it only costs a few bucks. Problem solved and it's drip free.

Great idea. I've also heard of using a turkey baster.

I use a long neck beer bottle. Just loosen the retainer that holds the cap on the reservoir enough so you can get the cap up and to the side to get it off, then just reach the long neck in there and pour.

Funny this should just come up, I had to do this yesterday. Per a suggestion on this forum I bought a $2 turkey baster at Wallyworld and it worked like a charm!

It's a Yamaha not a Harley. Shouldn't have to add any liquids :lol:

Why don't you just add to the over flow tank?

I thought that was what we were talking about. Isn't the overflow tank the white tank located behind the left side fairing?

What kind of beer, and what's the boiling, freezing points ? :lol:

Russian roulette in the garage, which open beer bottle contains the antifreeze?

You are right there. You have to be very careful to make sure you keep the antifreeze far from the real beer.

Something like Budweiser or Coors will do, as long as you don't actually drink the stuff.

Agree, I thought that stuff was only good as an antifreeze anyway.
