As long as the coolant is fresh , the fan clutch is working like it's supposed to, the radiator fins are relatively clean, the thermostat OK and the water pump doesn't rock when you pull on the water pump pulley, you should be absolutely fine. Good time to check the fuel filter out back, too. This will be one of the times when you'll notice any deficiencies in the fuel delivery to the Nikki. Have fun, maihn....make sure your tires are up to the pace...
