dajogejr Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 YOu need to fix your coolant leak before you worry about being able to idle. It's quite possible it'll idle fine after you fix that... Water/coolant in the jugs doesn't burn well. My guess is you didn't seal the base or head gasket correctly. Time to tear at least the top off (head) and get a new gasket. You did buy a new gasket and properly torque the head down in sequence, right? Did you clean up both surfaces, cylinder and head?

michigan_soler Posted August 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 i just used a gasket scraper and cleaned them up like i would on the head of a car... can i pull off the head with it still in the bike or is that really hard?

Dinner Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 I would take the engine out in my opinion. Because it is a lot easier to work on. It could be the head gasket or one of the bottom gaskets, so if it ends up being one of the bottom ones, you already have the engine out.
