HardIzZlE Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 i took off my coolent bottle & i just wanted 2 know where do i you put the 2 hoses (the lil hose under the water pump & the other hose that come from the back of the motor) /?? thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snopczynski Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 (edited) Why did you take it off, its a good idea to leave it on. Especially if it gets hot often. Those 2 hoses are crankcase breathers and should not have been tied into the cooling system at all.

Bansh-eman Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 the coolant bottle has been the topic of many discussions. some ppl belive you should leave it becasue they beleive it will recur and pull fluid back into the rad if low. I however have never seen this actually happen, i removed mine as well as many others. like Snop said the hose from the rear of the case and the clutch cover are breathers, they do not attach to the bottle at any point. they meet at the "t" and then the hose gose over the top of the motor and thats it.. as far as the bottle gose when you remove it just run the samll hose from the cap of the rad down the frame and tie it off.

locogato11283 Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 the coolant bottle is a fuckin piece of junk! there is absolutely no reason to have it on there. its a waste of space and clutters up the bike. take it off and throw it in the trash can. or throw gas on it and light it on fire and watch it melt.. just run the lines to the ground down one of the frame rails. some zip ties will do the trick.

Snopczynski Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 Now on the other end of the spectrum, you can decide to do whatever you want with the coolant overflow bottle. However, with the amount of abuse and riding my bike see's down in the idiot holes, I have seen my bottle sometimes take on coolant. When I get back to camp and it sits, the coolant is gone again, and the radiator is full. Just my input on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoast Banshee Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 Took mine off always seemed to do absolutely nothing whether hot or cold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbooker82 Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 It does do it most people just dont notice it. It is more noticable on vehicles because they have cooling systems that hold way more coolant. The more coolant you head up the more room for expansion you need. I doubt you would be able to tell how much a half gallon of coolant expands unless you measured it with a graduated cylinder. Now if it runs real hot and the radiator boils over then you would probably notice it suck the excess coolant back in to the radiator. That is because you now have a hot gas ( as one of the 4 states of matter) in the radiator, and a gas expands and contracts way more with a change in temperature than a liquid does.

bansheefreak Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 if you do get rid of the bottle put the hose coming from top of radiator somehere it will leak on your pipesup under the gas tank out of view ofcourse.if it gets hott and spews... this will let you know if it gets hott (by smell or steam)and you will need to replenish fliuds..
