Trip inspiration - You need a Big Bike 

Yes sir... just gotta make a plan n get out there.

Hello, I don’t have a video on doing a coolant flush , but can help you with the process. 1 . You will want to download the service manual which can be found either on Facebook vstar 1300 group or on the vstar1300 wiki. A quick google search brings up both. When I filled I did use green anti freeze , but I believe the bike came stock with blue. I’ve use autozone 50/50 green , Preston’s 50/50 green with no issues. To drain , I pull the seat pull the 2bolts at the bottom of the tank and then I can slide the tank back gently a bit. This will allow me to see the radiator cap. Then I take off the cap. Now I can go to the bottom of the radiator and pull the bolt. When I pull the bolt I try to make sure I get the thin washer that is between the bolt and the radiator frame. Then let the fluid drain on to the container. Once that drains then I can put the bolt back in if I’m gonna do a vinegar flush then I would proceed to add distilled vinegar and distilled water. Run then drain. After this I’ll replace the bolt in the radiator. Tighten but not he man it. Then fill with the 50/50 mix I bought. Then run the bike for a bit and let the air bubbles bleed through the system. You can rev the motor just a little to help circulate the air through the system. Then top off whatever is lost. Replace cap , replace tank , replace bolts , replace seat. Hopefully I didn’t miss anything.

@@dbest1aVlogs awesome! Thank you for the detailed response. I just put the new front tire back on last night but have at least another 10 days of cold and/or rain here in Indiana… so I might as well get the coolant done since I can’t ride anyway. I appreciate the write up

I LOVE having quick release everything.

I have both. They have their moments.

Yeah so true. So many feel they can't. They just have to try.

I did actually mention about the speedo correction. I used a tire size calculator to see the differences in tires from 170/70 180/65 n 180/70. I'm most likely gonna try the 180/70 to see how it goes. The speedo error can be annoying. Granted I keep it in mind while riding , especially if someone is behind me.

Everything ok?

I believe they were Memphis shades . I don't remember part numbers though. I'd check the vstar1300wiki web page. Quick Google search will bring em up.

I bought the windshield mount supports

I grabbed it off of a buddy who was selling his 1300. I've never seen em again. Many use the women's rack.

Hope you enjoyed the holloween

@@dbest1aVlogs Im crazy busy Sir. All the very best brother.

Lol. Yeah my last c2 I got 18k with 3mm left to the wear bars. Only changed due to taking a trip. These (2nd set) right now are at about 18k .. have about 3mm to wear bars.

@@dbest1aVlogs That's impressive mileage.. The Journeys are good for about 8k miles on the rear...Believe it or not, I'd be lucky to get 7k miles out of a Cobra.

I agree

The connie is amazing. Did you flash the ecu with Ivan. I've been following that bike for a while. Great and powerful machines.

@@dbest1aVlogs didnt flash it yet maybe next summer for now winter is coming soon here so gonna have to wait. but even without a flash its a poweful motorcycle just love it been riding it for 3 year now.

HAHA, yeah around here gets pretty.

Awesome fall ride !

They are all oddball sizes lol. The mileage is nice 18k plus, but you just have to be sure to get in there and regressed the axle and spline bearings at maybe 10k or so. Still I had to replace all the rear end bearings after 46k. Not bad. The c2 mileage is amazing, but after a while it begins to flat spot. I never use up all the tread.

Yes yes, but we are speaking about motorcycle trips . Lol.

@@dbest1aVlogs I know, but the opportunity was there and I took it.

@@theodorstravels lol
