That's hilarious. What determination! I can hear it now: "it's a good thing we flushed her out - that coolant looked like OIL! But she's all filled up with nice fresh anti-freeze now. Y'er welcome."

^^^^^. And...... 'Here's the bill.'

Cheers

Sorry sir, maybe just a shop manual for today

Several years ago I bought a Kawi Concours 1000 from a guy at work. I'd had it a few months and the night before my first road trip on it, I got in a panic thinking I hadn't checked the tension or even lubed the chain since I'd had it. The next morning I got up early to go to the garage and get it done...and about half way there I remembered it had a shaft drive.

Early senior moment?

Lol!!!

one letter off and the guy would have been correct?
Isn't there a CB1100R/CBR1100 or something that has coolant?

Oh, and for all those people who blasted me for saying the 600 mile service being missed was not a big deal when considering a used bike.....consider that dealer....would hate to miss that service!

Don't forget to have them check the "rear ABS" if you have a non-ABS bike...

I could possibly see that happening here.
I think there are only four CB's in our province; two 2013's and two 2014's.
All were sold by the same dealership, and sold locally, so maybe not.
The guys at my Honda dealership are pretty sharp - even if somebody missed the banged up exhaust pipes on my CB during dealer prep.
