How do you change the coolant on a Honda magna?

Answer 1

Depending which year Magna (I own the original 1982 V45) the frame links to the colling system and acts as a coolant channel. Drain the radiator from the lowest point. Mine drains from a bolt at the bottom of the frame. Other year Magnas drain from a blot in the water pump. To help let the coolant out after you remove the drain bolt you can remove the radiator cap. After the coolant had been drained you can refill it with the proper coolant. Make sure you get the specified coolant. Your motor is made of aluminium and it can be damaged by the wrong one. You may check into a product called Engine Ice from cycle logic. It will lower operating temps and is aluminium block safe and safe with most metal surfaces. Don't mix coolants and remember to drain and refill your reserve bottle as well.
