V2K coolant level checking

petegtsv10 · 2 Weeks Ago

I feel stupid asking this question because I am fairly mechanical around bikes and cars. I just changed the coolant in my V2K and can't see how to check the level in the overflow tank. It looks like opaque black plastic to me that you can't see coolant in. What am I missing here????

There is a tube in an absolutely insane place. I think this is a picture I tried to take once. I can't even makes heads or tails of this picture.

You have to look inbetween the mufflers, and then the tube needs to be clean enough to see through.

I've been wondering the same thing.

So you observe the coolant in the tube, but use the level markers on the resevoir. You don't see the coolant IN the resevoir itself.

Hey, there isn't a window for checking the oil.

I ain't knocking the V2K. I love the engine & transmition. I wished it were the base for the Voyager. I could get rid of the Vision & Goldwing if that were the case.
