Default Fluids?

So i took my f4i out of storage today.

Did some work on the bike today

New K&N Oil Filter
Oil Change
Clean and Lube of chain

My bike is kinda hot driving around town 230 F range

get on the highway. let the airflow do its work. shoots back down to 180-190
is the bike suppose to get into the 220-230 range in the stop and go traffic zones where no good airflow is happening?

so my first though is new fluids?
how do i replace my coolant? i see the resovoir for the coolant. do i need to suck that up with the toolor does it drain for somewhere?

while im at that i figure i would replace the brake fluid. unscrew the box under the windscreen. same process of sucking fluid out of does it drain somewhere?

help is much appreciated!

Yes

Just look at it, there are hoses that you can detach and it'll drain out. But to actually replace your coolant you'll have to drain your radiator.

while im at that i figure i would replace the brake fluid. unscrew the box under the windscreen. same process of sucking fluid out of does it drain somewhere?
That's also just a reservoir. To replace it you have to first bleed the brake lines.

Do a search and you can figure out how to do all this for your bike.
