Well done. As previously stated run dngine to operating temperature prior to replacing cover plate to ensure coolant level is correct ( not that the be too much difference). Great guide and found the video very real and informative 👍. Great job mate
NIce video, I just got a Marauder VZ800, Im having the temp light come on at times during the ride, I have no idea when the last coolant change was performed, I just got the bike,,,DO you have any idea where the radiator drain is on the that one? I cant seem to find it,,,TY
What year is yours? Mines a 2011, 8500 miles on it. I"ve been looking for videos on how to do this and finally found yours. I'm not able to check the level cause I can't find it. But, 2011 and I've never changed the coolant so far so...figure I should by now right ? Another guy told me it's fine so...not sure what I should do. I also found..kinda oily drops but they dry and leave slight stain on the concrete...coming off the rectifier cover...so it's close to the oil filter area which gets a little oily grimey but..it's not what's dripping or it's a mix of something with a tiny bit of oil......
Thanks for watching. Mine is a 2008. I just changed mine because I figured it could use it and I was bored. The level on yours should be good if you're not overheating or draining (overflow) a lot.
did you just forgot to fill up the reserve tank at the first? it seems like when you taken back the side cover the tank almost empty :D but this is a good video thank for it :)
Thank you man! i have a question: How much coolant did you pour in to refill in the front of the bike? Do you pour the whole thing in as shown in the video or is there a spec amount to pour in?
nice vid! one of the best on this. what antifreee do u recommend 50/50, any suggestions? Can we use car antifreee green or red on older v900s? also, anything we should b worried about when moving tank, dont want dislocated any hoses underthere? Thanks!
Thanks for taking the time to make this video and share it. Much appreciated.
Thanks for watching
Well done.I was dissapointed to see I have to move the gas tank.What a pain in the ass ! My coolent is 10 yrs old so I have to do it : (
Not hard at all. You can do it.
It's pretty easy just 2 bolts, good time to do your spark plugs as they are right under the tank
When Japann subcontracts simple maintenance to German designers.
Why not a drain and accessible filter without disassembly.
Love the sound of the birds in the background!

Thank you, sir.
If you take the drain bolt first before the pressure cap it won't leak as much
shouldn't you run the bike after filling coolant tank before putting covers back on to make sure coolant is at correct level?
I took a ride and checked it after. I was still within range so I didnt go back in. Thanks for the comment. I should have put that in the video.
Hey there brother, nice informative video. Do you happen to have a video for replacing a thermostat?
sorry. Never had to replace one.
Can you tell me where the wind actors are in the fuel lines and how to remove them and and clean them
I need to know how to remove the injectors from the carburetion clean them and put them back in on a a 2007 900 Vulcan Kawasaki
How do you know how much coolant to put in the radiator?

Brilliant! Thanks for this video.
Will this process work on a vn 2000 ? Thanks for putting this video up!
Yes
did you just forgot to fill up the reserve tank at the first? it seems like when you taken back the side cover the tank almost empty :D but this is a good video thank for it :)
I think I did. I remember having to go back redo something.
There is a fork top cover missing ... cover the top with greace, or it gona rust like you never see before.
I have cleaned it out with steel wool and added some silicone to it. it drives me nuts. I gotta find some cheap caps to put it. Thanks for watching.

Should you not run the bike the continue to top up
Hey can you show me how to remove and clean injickterin carbs
I appreciate the video
I have an 08 Vulcan 500. Do you know if it will be the same thing?
So you basically didn't disconnect anything from the gas tank? You just took out the two back bolts and pulled it back and off a bit?
yes
Nice work 👍
And how do you get all the air bubbles out.
Run the engine and it will happen automatically. Air will dump into the reservoir and coolant will be taken up in its place. 👍
Thank you man!
i have a question: How much coolant did you pour in to refill in the front of the bike?
Do you pour the whole thing in as shown in the video or is there a spec amount to pour in?
From what I remember I could see the level and just eyed it. Thanks for watching.

Pretty sure I used 50/50. Green color. I had enough clearance with hoses when I lifted my tank. don't need to go very high. Thanks for watching.
Pre mixed kawsaki green coolent from the dealer is what I've used every time
Did you start it and let the new coolant cycle thru then have to add more?
Pretty sure I ran it and didn't have to add more.
I think you got more on the floor than in the bike.
That's how you know that you did a good job.
hey is your bike the fi version
It is fuel injected.
They began the Fuel Injection versions in 2006. They’re amazing
