Been riding a friend of mines early 08 Stallion each summer for the last 5 years. During that time I did various maintenance on it, he’s not a wrench guy. Last year the rubber coolant plug sprung a leak and I fixed it like many others, using a piece of heater hose and a plug. His was on the left rear of the bike.
As I posted a couple days ago, bought my own Stallion (494) and working on getting all the previous owner(s) shoddy work corrected. Some of the shortcuts are pathetic. It’s in pretty good shape with 8700 miles and the shoddy work is being corrected, one item at a time. Once I pulled the left wheel to check the battery, I knew I had to check everything, the wiring was a joke.
So I found the famous rubber plug on mine up front, right side and sure enough, only a matter of time before it would spring a leak. One more item checked off.
Been reading everything on this forum, lots of help, sure which the Maintenance Manual of years ago would have happened, be much easier sorting things out.
Not much activity here, hope there are lots of Stallions still rolling..
