I have adjusted all my intake valves. Now I need to adjust the exhaust valves. Looks like I'm gonna be removing the radiator and fan. I want as easy access as possible to these valves so I know I get the clearance correct. Here is the problem... I have removed my carbs and air box and gas tank. All have been cleaned and stored inside in my basement. I'm not putting them back on until spring when I plan on start riding. If I remove my radiator, I'm going to lose some of my coolant. No big deal because I plan on a radiator flush and replacement in the spring. Will my engine be safe until February/March without some of the coolant in it? I live in NE Ohio so our temps get down to maybe zero F at the coldest and thats only a few days. My bike is being stored inside an unheated garage.

Thanks for some advice !
