antifreeze level check

[wmh9680]

Hi, I have always had a hard time seeing the level of antifreeze in the reservoir. Well I checked it at night shining a flashlight in the wheel well and was able to see it clear as day (no pun intended). Had to play with the angle a bit but it worked. Thanks, Mike

That's a good idea, thanks for the tip!

Well done....

Nice trick to see the level. I have always found that pulling up and down on the handlebars gets the liquid moving and that is more visable and you can estimate pretty easy where it is. Will try the night time test...:thumbup:

When I had things apart to change the antifreeze and troubleshoot a leak, I taped a short strip of LED's to the overflow bottle, LEDs facing in and wired it to the lighting circuit. Now its easy to check whenever the ignition is on and can be seen night or day. If you leave the top piece of plastic off, its easy to see the upper half of the bottle with the Frunk lid open.
