from what i understand, they take the bottle from under the seat and re route the entire system to under the "hood". then u will need longer hose probably to reroute the overflow back to the back so ti wont overflow onto your pipes

i have not done this, this is jsut what i hear

hope this helps

I had the same problem. I left the bottle where it is and re-routed the overflow hose from the front (where is drips on the pipes), to behind the engine so it comes out right at the swingarm pivot point and drains on the ground. I still have to add coolant from time to time, but it's from sloshing around and getting into the overflow hose.

 

I have seen that a lot of people move it up "under the hood". I may try that sometime. I think mine still drains a little because there is no "P-trap" in the line.

 

Good Luck.

 

Happy Thanksgiving everyone

It drains due to gravity, and the bike bangin' around. I moved mine up front, under the nose plastic, and haven't had a problem since....

I've relocated my bottle up front also and have had no problems since.

Best thing I ever did for my cooling system....really. I haven't had one bit of trouble since I moved it.
