locogato11283 Posted May 7, 2007 Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 doesnt othe overflow tube run back to your coolant bottle? how do you know its comin out the overflow? im kinda confused here. so youre losing coolant, but its not going into the bottle and its comin out the overflow? sounds like 2 different situations to me. you can suck coolant into the motor and it will burn it, sometimes not even affecting performance. the other way is that your coolant system is pressurized and pushed coolant out the overflow.. but you say the bottle isnt filling up. can you clarify a little better exactly what your bikes doing?
