Coolant Reservoir OverFLow - Some Help Please


Recommended Posts

seems like there is only 1 hose that goes from the overflow bottle to the overflow pipe on the radiator rite under the cap, if there is another hose it is a overflow for the bottle to drain in case it gets to full and that would go down to the bottom of the bike where it can leak on the ground....

 

People still run those bottles???

I don't know to many people that actually use that overflow tank. I wish i would have kept mine and used it as a purge kit system.

I GOT ABOUT 10 OF THEM KICKING ALL OVER THE FLOOR OF MY GARAGE. I CAN SEND YA PURGE BOTTLES O PLENTY.

Thats what i thought. Now my other question is. I have a hose coming out of under my water pump and connects to a T from the T one connects to the back of the motor near the rear shock and the other one is connected to nothing. Is that normal or should the 2 hoses from the T connect to something. Thanks

Those are both basicly vents.. I routed mine up a little bit and back down so stuff cant easly get in them but otherwise got rid of the whole t-setup and all.. makes things much cleaner..

Can kinda see the front one in this pic..
