Finally got around to putting the main stand on the ATAS, and the springs are tough fukkers. My usual method of puller, screwdriver was impossible. I found a video which used a ratchet strap, and this finally workd. Still was a PITA, and the bike kept moving, but it eventually worked!

A Hindle full exhaust system I bought some years ago came with this awesome welded steel hook thingy for installing the springs. I used it all kinds of spring pulling for years, then I broke it I think using it trying to remove some crusty springs off a drum brake. Oops

The "problem" is that regular off the shelf "green" coolant today is different than it was 20 years ago. Today, you can put Prestone "All Vehicles" coolant into pretty much anything. I happily use it in my bikes.

Prestone isn't doing anything for their credibility when they claim their "All-Vehicle: Universal" coolant is for all vehicles, while at the same time selling vehicle-specific coolant (Asian, American, European). So which is it???

All-Vehicle: Universal
"Prestone® MAX antifreeze + coolant is GUARANTEED to provide MAXIMUM ENGINE PROTECTION in all Vehicle Makes, Models & Years."

European (Blue)
"Prestone® MAX antifreeze + coolant uses Advanced Original Equipment Technology to provide MAXIMUM ENGINE PROTECTION in European vehicles requiring Blue (G48) or Green (G64) antifreeze + coolant, guaranteed."

European (Pink)
Prestone® MAX antifreeze + coolant uses Advanced Original Equipment Technology to provide MAXIMUM ENGINE PROTECTION in European vehicles requiring Pink antifreeze + coolant, guaranteed.

And so on...

Prestone and Recochem vehicle-specific coolants are all identical except for the colour. That's the only difference

I'm NOT saying that's the only difference in the OEM coolants...
