Good video. Is there a need to burn the system of air? I know in cars I used to turn the heater on to get the air bubbles out. Thanks.

[@dschloe]

Thanks for watching. I just let it run with the cap off until the thermostat opens. I squeeze release the hose to help force the air through

This is the only Vulcan I’ve seen on CZcams with the same style back lights as mine is it a 2005?

[@dschloe]

Thanks for watching. I think these bikes are very underrated.

My bike was over heating, so i changed the coolant and thermostat, it ran good for about 45 mins, the over heat light came on, so i pulled over, as soon as i pulled over the light went off, but when i chanhed the coolant i forgot to add some to the reservoir, do you think that could be the cause?

[@dschloe]

Thank you for watching. It probably the reservoir is but I would check over the bike really well to make sure something isn’t putting stress on the motor. Check, oil, Air filter and make sure the Carburetor is not running rich also. Hope you get sorted out ok.
