A bit overdue, but flushed my coolant today. Not a bad project, if a bit messy. Having outsized hands is definitely not a benefit here (or with spark plugs for that matter Crying or Very sad emoticon ).

Switched out clamps (thanks again, MadisonSully!) which slowed me down a bit too..

Anyway, time to bleed out the air, and it seemed there was hardly any. Forgot to jostle the scooter as some have apparently done, but in the course of a few ounces through the tube, no bubbles. Is that possibly normal?

I've always had some air bubbles in the hose. I'd ride it a bit and try bleeding again. Just don't over tighten the bleeder. I learned the hard way. Won't do that again!

Just two questions Dave:

1) What are your rates?

2) Do you travel?

I work for a range of beverages, but you've gotta give me a week's lead time to make it to San Antonio. Nerd emoticon
