I haven't looked... coolant change probably needs to include a post-change burp
of the system... that is covered in the manual, available at valkyrienorway.com...

Coolant change how to and what king going back in ? oil change what kind of oil and what filter would like it to be chrome for the look but not a real huge deal . Brake fluid change how and what kind . And I have a popping exhaust leak sounds like its under my left foot how to fix? I know a lot of questions but I am a total noobie with very little mechanical ability
Use the Honda pre mix coolant available at Honda car dealers. I believe it needs to be silicate free whatever you use. |

Popping sound could be a loose header bolt where the exhaust attaches to the engine. They are fiddly little buggers to get at. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN OR YOU WILL BREAK ONE. REPEAT Do not overtighten. Be gentle with the socket as you check them. |

Any 10-40 oil. BUT You need to look at the symbol on the back of the oil container http://www.ducati.org/forums/attachments/848/81441d1411430762-best-oil-api-circle.jpgDO NOT use any oil with Friction modifier/energy conserving. It will mess up the clutch!!! |

Prestone is conveniently 50/50 pre-mixed. I recommend that you hold off the coolant change until you actually know how *NOT* to break the tab on the left sidecover while removing/installing the left sidecover to access the reserve bottle, least for the moment.
