This video gives you a walk around Idea of how do drain the coolant on a Vulcan 900, pulling the thermostat housing, testing the thermostat, and pulling the front cylinder water pipe o-ring for replacement.

👍👍👍 Thank you for this clear and simple lesson. "They don't make it easy to change the coolant" is an understatement. They Make it near impossible for DIY. Thank you.

The electrical connector at the coils detaches from coil frame without removing frame. The whole connector slides off backward from spline. Hope that makes sense.

I have the same problem, leaks when cold, stops leaking when hot. Thanks for the video.

Hey brother, I have a question..I just bought my 2008 Vulcan and the fan from my radiator seems to never turn on. My question is When is it supposed to kick on?? I don't write it hard, at least not yet I've only taken it for some simple cruises

Nice conclusion ... to much pressure. 👍🏼👍🏼

Hey nice vídeo thank you, I have a question ,I have a 1988 1500 kawasaki vulcan se,and it only have 1 thermal switch on the bottom of the radiator can you make a vídeo explaining how the fan is supposed to kick in without having a fan switch?

This is possibly old seals but I would do a flush and make sure that's not what was causing the pressure issue. Also check to make sure coolant overflow tank feed line is not kinked shut, check the cap and make sure it allows flow to the coolant tank when bike gets hot, and the temp switch for the fan . The right coolant in these bikes does matter. Any one of these could be responsible for the issue. Not a shop mechanic just stating the steps I would take.

Do you find when you replace the oring it is a bigger to push the tube back into the engine? I did mine and STILL see a drip. And, of course after a long cold winter stored

I'm having the same issue. Did you ever figure it out?

[@hundleycycleshop8876]

I had this also happen on my vulcan 750 (video is up). It is most likely just seals that have aged over time and suffered a loss of sealing potential. When you pull your bike out after a long winter and with them being old they now start to leak until they warm up and swell and seal better. I believe that is the problem im having.
