Coupelx Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 just remember that if it does puke you will need to add coolant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Cal Suspension Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 As if you don't need to add coolant if you still have one? SP My bike would always suck the coolant back into the radiator from the bottle. Yours didn't? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawnsadler Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 they are required for us when we race.. so we drill a hole in the top of a water bottle run the overflow tube into it and zip tie it to the frame.. some guys get creative with Monster Energy bottles and stuff..

Banshee Chad Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 Ya, mine sucks it back. Just leave overflow pretty empty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always wondered what the hell good it was to have it anyway. SP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of people dont run them, but I do like to run them because they are a recovery tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SP if your radiator cap is functioning properly then it will draw the coolant back into the engine when it cools off. this technology has been used for at least the last 30-40 years on many types of vehicles.
