Title: Fluid change time!
Post by: Bobcat Biker on March 23, 2015, 09:26:06 AM: When I bought the 1800...fluids looked good. But brake and clutch are starting to get dark and the coolant is really dark. Ordered speed bleeders and will be changing out brake and clutch next weekend. Oil, filter, and final drive will be done this week. Put 10k miles on the bike since last March.
What coolant do you use?
