How to check cooler?

My bike is air-cooled, so how do I check the cooler? (I don't even know where is it, anyone?)

open your tank and look out for some cool green stuff inside a white container

Do air-cooled bikes need to top up coolant? I thought air-cooled bikes no coolant one, although still got cooler, but it uses air to cool one?Originally posted by soundless:i think for phamtom the coolen is infront of the engine,you will see so thai wording on the front coolen cap.

my sentiments exactly~. the bike is probably older technology? nowadays mostly liquid cooled. air cooled means cooled by air right?Originally posted by kaiQ:Do air-cooled bikes need to top up coolant?

Virago 125 is a slow bike. If not wrong, the meter maximum speed is 140. I still on my P plate, so usually I ride slow. As for fuel consumption, about $5 of 98 can go up to 160km. For power, got some difficulty going up a steep slow go gear 3 from slow speed, so go for 2. About the "pop pop" Harley sound... pai seh, never see Harley before so dun know...Originally posted by l3stat:eh kaiq! been looking for you! how's the performance of your virago?? may be interested in getting one. what's the fuel consumption of your bike like? v-twin got power anot?
Last time the problem I've mentioned is due to the spark plug, so solution is just to change it.
If you want fast bike, I dun think Virago suits you. If you just want to travel from point A to B, you can go for it. I use it to travel from Tampines to Jalan Basar everyday, so far no break down yet. -
I believe it's a old technology, although it's made since 1997 (I see the book up, so dun know correct or not). Air cooled, less maintenance also- no top up of coolent.Originally posted by feng125:my sentiments exactly~. the bike is probably older technology? nowadays mostly liquid cooled. air cooled means cooled by air right? -

Mine is FQ plate. By the way, Virago is 5 gear only, not very shiok...Originally posted by feng125:my bike 1994 technology oredi liquid cooled... 1997 is pretty new mah. FP or FR plate?
