Heavier, more parts to make and maintain, liquid coolant can be corrosive to metals and can leak/ dry up. Must use antifreeze during cold weather.

Would an air-cooled or liquid-cooled bike have better overall value?
Liquid-cooled are alot easier on your engine. But, like anything else, there's always downsides, with LC, you now have to worry about keep levels correct, replacements of rads, water pump, etc. Air-cooled bikes are just less maintenance in that department, nice, but on a hot riding day, they are more or less likely to pop that temperature light on. Liquid-cooled engines are heavier

a liquid then if cooled further it would turn into a solid a liquid then if cooled further it would turn into a solid
