Handlebar? clutch cable question

New to me 2017 Tri Glide Ultra advice
Greetings, I would suggest that you change out the coolant. If it is over 2 (?) years old it may be starting thicken / gel and may then burn out the coolant pump. Learned that the hard way.- Miner

Thrasin Brand Inner Shift Arm Review

Water Pump Issue Checking Circuits
Thanks for the information. The coolant information is interesting and perhaps useful to prevent future occurrences. I hope to pick up my trike today and get some info on paper as to what the warranty cost is. Also remember I'm in Alberta Canada and we pay a very hefty premium for that...- Miner
