Thanks a lot for that very informative post and a very quick response
@PugslyCat.
Firstly, Apologies for resurrecting the old post. As I am new to this forum and to the Harley family, I wanted to get an idea on what I am dealing with here. This post looked something close to what I was looking for.
Coolant refill:
I will surely try this way out.
1. Any idea on what is the original coolant used by H-D on a Street 750?
2. Any particular one when you say DEXCOOL (ACDelco 10-101 DEX-COOL Extended Life Coolant), or..?
3. Also someone in a similar forum suggested to mix the coolant with some additive like Distilled water etc. Do you suggest this to be done or the coolant needs to be refilled as it is from the canister?
Coolant Leak:
I believe there is some coolant in the system as I rode the vehicle down 200 km(120 miles) post purchasing it, with no such major problems but normal heat of a 750cc engine.
I keep riding it and have kept an eye out for leaks, steam, etc but haven't found any of these yet. Will keep doing this further post the refill just to be sure.
Starting Issue
I already checked the battery for residue, low charge etc. It doesn't seem to be the reason. I rechecked post a full charge and the issue persists.
I tried changing the relays next to the fuse box. When I interchanged them (all 12V), the bike started cranking up on every attempt but failed to start.
When I reset the relay as they were and tilted the copper points inwards at the bottom of the relay, the bike started normally. I believe this was a loose connection at the relay socket. But the issue is not a permanent fix as I need to open the right panel below the seat and bend the relay a bit for the bike to start off normally most of the times.
Oil Light
This again, will be followed as you suggested and will update if it gets fixed.
faulty oil pressure sender- The bike has just clocked 300-350 miles in total, so I believe this shouldn't be the case.
an oil leak- No stains found in the garage floor or anywhere near the engine.
a gasket failure- Need to check this.
or a blocked oil passage within the engine- Again low miles done and viscosity of the oil seems normal when checked from the oil check outlet. So don`t think this might be the case too.
What viscosity oil and coolant (post complete draining) would be suggested?
