How do you check coolant level on a 1996 kawasaki vulcan classic 800?

To check the coolant level on a 1996 Kawasaki Vulcan Classic 800, follow these steps:

1. Park the motorcycle on level ground and turn off the engine. Allow it to cool down for a few minutes.

2. Locate the coolant reservoir. It is a clear plastic tank located on the right side of the motorcycle, just behind the cylinder head.

3. Look at the coolant level in the reservoir. It should be between the "FULL" and "LOW" marks on the side of the tank.

4. If the coolant level is low, remove the radiator cap (located on the left side of the motorcycle, above the cylinder head) and add a 50/50 mixture of ethylene glycol and water to the reservoir until the level reaches the "FULL" mark.

5. Replace the radiator cap and coolant reservoir cap securely.

Note: If the coolant level is consistently low, there may be a leak in the cooling system. In this case, it is important to have the motorcycle inspected by a qualified mechanic.
