Bubbles in expansion bottle, over heating..... HG?
Posted: Wed Jun 10, 2009 9:36 pm
2 days ago i drained the entire coolant system as the previous owner had decided to use water, that had turned rusty and brown
filled it up with coolant, took it for a run, the bike got hot very quickly. the needle was in the horizontal centre line with in 3miles of easy under 5k revs riding.
i had the rad cap off and the engine running to check for airlock and i spotted a constant stream of biggish bubbles.
Just rode it home and heard bubbling in the exp. bottle.
no moisture or cheese in the oil, bike runs sweet, just gets hot quicker than it did before.
Has the HG finally died?
Where can i get a replacement in the north west tomorrow (thursday) and what the hell do they look like?
Cheers
