WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO CHECK COOLANT LEVEL

[Questions]

Hi everyone, Im having a hard time checking my coolant level. Very hard to see , I tried a flashlight backlighting the coolant tank and even that is hard to see. I even tried a bore scope for gun barrels to light inside the tank. Still very hard to tell where the level is. Anyone have a good method??


Thanks :banghead:

I do it by shining a light on back of the bottle and looking at it from the front

I shine it up from the bottom while shaking :spyder2: back and forth by the handlebar.

I really don't have a problem seeing that coolant. Now the brake fluid.... That's another story.

Let's see..!!

the light from behind with the swaying the spyder you should see the level moving if your close to full. If your too low you will see nothing...:roflblack: I have the added problem running 75% water and 25% coolant/water wetter...:thumbup:

I find lighting the tank with an LED flashlight works best.

I find lighting the tank with an LED flashlight works best.

Check it by looking under the right wheel well. Shine a flashlight under it. You most probably will not be able to see the top of the coolant which is a good thing. If you see the coolant level then you might want to go to the trouble of removing the panel under the frunk. Otherwise why go to all that trouble when all you have to do is get on your knees and look up?
