[Gen24]

I want to drain my rad on a Gen 3 Vulcan (99SE). I removed to black plastic protector plate, and assume that I want to loosen that white plastic nut on the left side of the rad (the wingnut on my Gen 2 was in basically the same location), and the coolant will flow out the black tube beside it, is that correct? Anything to watch out for? I've been getting an occasional loss of heat at idle, and wanted to flush and change coolant as first attempt at a solution, temp guage is steady at a little under half way mark, I assume thermostat is okay.

Thanks

ya.. just loosen that white drain plug... coolant will come out of the small tube like stuff and from the loose drain plug..

change ur T'stat is very simple 25 min job...

T'stat i like 7 buucks at the dealer... get the gasket from autozone its only 89 cents as compared to $5 at the stealership...
