Where did you get the air cleaner? Did it come black or did you paint it? Subscribed!

[@bgrides2108]

Hi mytriton54, The air intake is from "chucksterscustoms.com". It came black already. All and all the kit was pretty good. Needed to pick up a couple replacement screws because the ones in the kit were to long. The back side of the air intake sits really close to an electrical connector.... It ended up working well and looks really good in my humble opinion :) Thanks for watching.

Vulcan Vaquero take 1040 synthetic or regular???

[@bgrides2108]

Hi WD Holm, we talked to our local dealer and he recommended using the oil we used. I'd recommend a quick call to your dealership and ask them what they suggest. Thanks for watching.

@@bgrides2108 BG I got it straightened out. I brought the oil levels where they should have been.

Hi Patrick, Very good point. Thanks for watching.

I thought oil filter should be tightened by hand only?

[@bgrides2108]

Hi Chitor, Good question. I think on some installs. Maybe car engines. This one you need a little torque. Thanks for watching!

Hi. How to change coolant? And how many mails need to change?

[@bgrides2108]

Hi Medalsvet, Sorry. I haven't changed the coolant before. Here's a video that might be helpful "kzbin.info/www/bejne/m4vHiWWLl9GJjK8"

Best oil in the world.... 😆 cheapest vendor Kawasaki could find to supply oil. Guessing Warren Oil...

[@bgrides2108]

Hi Metricoil, Your probably right. That Vaquero is a nice bike so it deserves the ery best. 😉 Thanks for watching.

4.5 us quarts when changing the oil and filter. Vulcan 1700 should be straight up and down and hot (5mins idle) not on the side stand (even with the 2x4 you’ll be low) to check oil level as per Kawasaki service manual and seeing how these bikes run hot hot hot the correct oil (and coolant) levels are imperative. 20/50 is a good option in hot climates. It’s also not a bad idea to use a torque wrench when crushing the crush washer 20nm in this case and 18nm for the filter hf303rc has a nut on the end so a wrench will work …

[@bgrides2108]

Great info. Thanks.

[@quacker998]

I’ll assume you guys are drunk! Hic!

Could have been

Always wear gloves when handling used oil and oil filters should only be hand tightened. There's no harm in pre filling the oil filter, but neither is there any benefit. I'm a bit envious of bikes that use readily available oils like a 10w40, my Moto Guzzi calls for 10w60.

[@bgrides2108]

Hi Capthollister, Thanks for the reply. The gloves are a good idea. Yeah, 10w40 can be picked up just about anywhere.
