THANK YOU FOR ANY HELP donnydodad@msn.com You have something over-pressurizing the cooling system such as a failed water pump seal, head gasket, or cylinder bas gasket. That's really the only way you get the problem you have. :geek: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FasterThanU90 Posted August 24, 2007 Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 well if it was a seal problem like said u could see it in ur oil and that would cause a loss in fluid. The charging and ingnition system shouldnt have an effect. this is weird.. is the head nuts all torqued to spec? is it smoking more than normal?

FasterThanU90 Posted August 24, 2007 Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 the bottom hose should go to the pump top hose to head an little hose to overflow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BellicoseBanshee Posted August 24, 2007 Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 A friend had the same problem, blew the coolant reservoir bottle cap and coolant soaked the back of the bike. Pulled the head off and found a faulty O-ring. That is the only experience I have with your problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
