Spartacus
.020 Over
Due to recovering from throat cancer (just like Stripes), I haven't been able to do much maintenance on my '07 Classic till now. So please bare with me. I noticed a few drops of coolant under the radiator. I removed the side radiator trim pieces to see if I could locate the leak source with no luck. I then began to remove the bolts for the bottom trim piece and coolant started pouring out. I quickly replaced the 2 bottom bolts to stop the deluge.
I have a couple of questions. Are these 2 bottom bolts the actual drains for the radiator? About a pint drained out. What coolant should I use to top off with? Will Prestone's 50/50 mix that I use in my cage work OK? Should there be a gasket (O-ring) on these bolts or some sort of sealant used on the threads? Do I top off thru rad cap or reservoir?
I'm eager to start riding again so I want to make sure I don't screw up coolant system.
