coolant

Hey guys, My friend's bike (an 03 FZ1) was smoking the other day and we could see coolant dripping from the bottom of the engine casing onto the top of the exhaust where the headers merge. The leak appeared to be emanating from the bottom of the engine case. After taking the exhaust off, I...

So, I purchased a new 2015 FZ1 last March and, since the manual specifies changing the coolant fluid every 4 years, I did it myself a couple of weeks ago. After I filled it the level in the reservoir was slightly over the max (or full) line. On successive rides the level in the coolant level...

I need to do a coolant change on the FZ1 (Gen II) (it has turned brownish) and wanted to see if people recommend using the Honda Type 2 coolant on this bike? Or is there is another FZ1 forum recommended coolant for this bike (that is not yamacool)? Also, is the total coolant capacity 2.5...

Hi all I recently took my Gen II to a local repair shop for new tires, and they mentioned that the coolant was low. I thought that was odd since I had checked it recently. Just to be sure, I double checked and I noticed that it is full at the radiator cap (where I had checked it last time)...

So, thought I'd take my carbs apart as my machine has sat for 2 years, good thing I did take them apart, will also help with putting in the de-anti-smog kit and the valve job and all the electrical warmth I'm putting on. I've never seen motorcycle carburetors that have engine coolant running...

Hey guys! New to the forum glad to be here! I recently purchased a 2006 FZ-1 and pretty sure the guy was retarded. Engine oil was over filled and some other minor stuff that we fixed. Now I'm running into an issue when my bike gets hot it is leaking coolant out from under the radiator cap. I...

It's time to replace the coolant in my FZ1S. The manual is not very specific on the type to use. It just says to use an Ethylene Glycol with corrosion inhibitors for aluminium engines. On a previous post it was recommended not to use car coolant but a quick check in the local car part shop shows...

Hi first of all,hello to everyone as I've just joined the forum.i came back from a 180 mile ride yesterday,put the bike in garage on side stand and noticed a small amount of coolant fluid on floor that had dripped from overflow pipe on left side.ive checked the reservoir this morning and it's...

Hi all, this is my very first thread / question, so bare with me. I have a 2007 FZ1-s that need a bit of coolant refill. Fine - I know how to do that. HOWEVER, the coolant I bought (or - was sold...) is of a long-life type (red) instead of the green oooze that is in the system now. The...
