Ok, now that I have another 5th Gen with it's original coolant, I need to do this process over again.

Now that my Wife has a new job & is off on most weekends, I will have a camera person to assist. With that in mind, are there any pic requests? Anyone want to see anything specific? By all means, let me know. The only definite that I know of is I want a photo of the crankcase bolt with the socket on it showing it's location relative to all the stuff under the cowl.

KC-10 FE out...

it is nice to also fill your bike up with coolant before a group ride
