If your coolant hoses are squishy... Replace them. But make sure you get harley hoses or it will void your warranty
THE BIKE DOES HAVE THE EXTENDED, EXTENDED, EXTENDED, EXTENDED WARRANTY RIGHT???

On a more serious note, if thats possible, the bike may not be equiped with a radiator, coolant, or coolant hoses, ESPECIALLY if its an hd. But it may have if its an import.
But i would say all thoses things would be worth changing as they would make the bike a lot safer to ride.

You can't use the orange stuff, It is specifically written in your owners manual that you must use harley coolant. It has a special ethylene glycol which was engineered by HD to work in the open air environment without leaking on to the ground.

OK LMAO so I had to look at Road kills other posts. I didn't spend much time looking but saw enough to get the impression he is a nube wanna-be who not only does not own a Harley but has no bike at all. Based on this post and some of the others I read his user name is quite appropriate.
Make sure to change the blinker fluid and the muffler belt as those are assuredly shot as well.
