Hi just picked up a 03 Honda shadow 750. Looking to getting the oil/coolant changed and cleaned up to ride this summer. What are some common problems? ive noticed that my front break rotor has a hairline crack in it and i need to replace that before i ride. I also read on another page that there is a special coolant that these bikes take is there any truth to that?

Welcome to the forum.
Many guys use Prestone 50/50 coolant. Some say it should be a coolant with no silica. Peak says that about their product, and others do too.

Welcome to the forum. OReilly's sells a 50/50 universal coolant that is silica free. Check eBay for a used OEM rotor otherwise a new one from Honda can be expensive.
