Does anyone know at what intervals we need to change our antifreeze?

Does it take a special kind? Lost my manual bout a year ago.

When you change the fan-belt and use antifreeze thats intended for air cooled engines only..........ask your local dealer for it......and a spare fan-belt.

Also, it's crucial to torque down the zag nuts every 1200 miles. :icon_lol:

No way,
I haven't even got my bike running yet and I at least know that it is air cooled.

What headlight do you have on your bike?!?!?!?!? Is that just a GS500F light bolted up to the headlight mounts? That thing looks SOOO SICK.
