I recently had coolant/radiator problems. I ended up ordering a new radiator and had to wait on slow boat. So I ordered some silicone hoses to go with it. Replaced radiator hoses and a few other coolant hoses the kit came with. Put radiator back on bike and filled with coolant. Bled coolant line and topped off coolant. Started fine but was bogging down a little. I often forget vacuum hose to tank, so I thought that was what it was. Checked all fuel/vacuum hoses, seemed to be OK. Pulled plugs (felt like a mis-fire) and there was a small amount of oil on plugs. Cleaned all plugs but still missing (not running right). At times it seems to clear out, then I get on it and go down the street and it gets worse.
I know this isn't a normal problem, but if any one is willing to suggest anything I am willing to try it. I'm out in Clever, so I know it's a ways out here but anyone wanting to come and help or hang out I'm home most the time right now (unemployed). Need to get this running to use as a commuter to work.
Want to talk? Text or call me 417-396-0278
Thank You Everyone, Dan Sandoval

Thanks for input. I don't know why there was oil on plugs, been quite a while since I had pulled the plugs so maybe just dirty over time. I relaced all plugs with new. Still had problems but plugs looked clean each time I pulled them. I eventually found a frayed wire going to coil. I cut it clean and re-connected it and all is good again.
Been 'bout six weeks since I have riden 'cause of all the problems. I'm going out and ride no matter how hot it is!
