| I have randomly check the coolant level of my 2003 Swing over my 4 years ownership. This week, it was at the LOW marker, so I removed the fairing box and refilled to the top mark (per the owners manual). My question is : Have you ever had to add coolant to your Swing? Is my loss of fluid over the years "normal" attrition, or should I look further for a leak. There are no visible signs of leaking coolant on my floor, or anywhere I look on the Swing. Thanks, billc. |

| Cause the reserve tank is no sealed container it may evaporate a little fluid over the time.

| Maybe this thread should be moved out of the "Introductions" section into somewhere more appropriate? |

| Terry,
Thanks for the heads up. I read this post but didn't notice it was in introductions.
billc,
I have never even checked my level yet for the coolant so I don't know if it is normal to lose any. I wouldn't let it concern you since it has been 4 years though. Thanks for the post since I'm sure others will go out and check their level. I know I will this weekend.

. I have noticed my coolant is on the lower level and would like a drop before setting of on a big trip next week. Question please as I have no manual about.... I see that Billc says "remove the fairing box", I guess this is the box above the coolant tank on the right hand side of the bars? So, how do you get it out?? I have tried wiggling it out with a screwdriver but this doesn't seem right at all ![Smile](https://2img.net/i/fa/i/smiles/icon_smile.gif) |
