Got my first Kawa 2009 Concours last week. Yesterday changed oil in rear differential, oil and filter in motor, battery in FOB, air filter, added coolant. While down changing engine oil noticed radiator on outside could be cleaner. I don't want to use a car wash or high pressure to clean it. Was thinking about using SIMPLE GREEN cleaner and then rinsing with water hose.
Please tell me what you use or tell me what you have heard should be used. It has been 3.5 years since it was brand new and I would imagine that outside of the radiator has some dirty or sand in it.
On the maintenance I did, some asshole tech must have used a oil filter wrench to tighten on the old filter. Frankly I did not know if it was going to come off or not. It caved in, torn, leaked. Finally was able to put a big channel lock wrench on it and it started to budge a smidgen at a time. The air filter was more time consuming. It goes into the compartment really snug.
All in, I would say it has been a good long while since this was all done. Forgot one more thing: yesterday prior to my work, went to Kawa dealer and had the rear break factory recall completed.
Good day for the c14!
