"Plus the dirt from the radiator core just washed out better than ever"  Hey Will, thought I'd drain the coolant out of my Husky and wow it looked like the Yarra river. How does so much dirt get in there ??? Took 5 flushes to get it clean ??? What did you fill the radiator with ? Sounds like you know what your doing with bike maintenance (the tricky stuff), any chance you can move nearer to Carrum ??

Lefty.
The 449 comes with a redish brown colored  coolant not a green coolant :shock:

Thanx Seano, called past my dealer (motorbike that is) and he told me the same thing Seano. May have lost its ability also John. Checked the breathers hoses and found one blocked with dirt, but it was a petrol tank one Kenny. So cleaned that one out. I've bought some Maxima Coolanol, recommended by the dealer so I'll fill her up with that and see how we go. 

Cheers for the help.
