    Default Forum Newb Now Stallion Owner

    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..

    There is also one of those plugs on the radiator left side. Just look up from the rear, easy to see. I believe the one on the back is a 3/4". The plug the factory installs is actually a vacuum plug, not designed for cooling system. I think every owner has had to replace those plugs.

    That picture was taken 6-7 years ago and the reason the brake hose looks so new, it was new. It had rubbed the radiator hose and was worn to the cord and I had just replaced it. I replaced the plug with spec cooling system hose and a piece of steel stock in the end. And, "Does it ever get out of the garage?" Well, it has just over 65K on the clock which is a lot more than MOST others here. Thanks.

    That explains why it was so clean and glad to hear that you are riding and enjoying the Stallion . I just passed 74k and I met a guy in Pigeon Forge last year with a '08 with 98k. There are several out there that are doing a lot of riding! Glad you are one! Tomg
