Just have a rag handy for some small residual gas.
I concur.

I second.

No need to run the lines dry, it will shut off once you pull it apart. You will have to do the same in reverse to put it back on, it does not just snap back in.

Finally was able to wash and detail mine. Took 2 days and a lot of sweat (it’s now officially hot in NC lol). 2 layers of ceramic coating are down, but prep work was tedious…

thanks a lot, Vince! I like it simple and try not to “overdo” things when it comes to modding. And I like it being clean lol

Just found out thanks to YouTube the HD Coolflow cooling fan mounted behind the rear cylinder on my RKS has a on, off, and auto position and the fan status actually shows up on the dash LCD display. The fan came with the bike and I thought the switch was hardwired in the on position since it always popped up the few times I pushed it down.

I also found this out about the function of the on and auto positions of the switch. I have mine in the on position and it works as advertised. I don't have to start the bike up in the off position either unlike what the instructions state.
