coolant

Hi My track bikes come up with a mysterious coolant leak. RSV4 2014 factory ABS basically levels are fine and when fired up at a standstill and let it get up to temperature there's no leaks anywhere. Prod/waggle the hoses still no leaks. Go out for a session on a track day and come back...

Out riding yesterday and everything was fine until I saw a red triangle warning light and coolant temperature went from 77c to 135c! Stopped bike waited 5 minutes then all returned to normal?? Started up and rode 20 miles and it came on again. Seemed to be every time I turned a slow tight turn...

Hi all My 2007 dropped a load of coolant the other day, i found the culprit which was a lower radiator pipe which had pulled itself free. Problem now is that i have lost all the fluid and need to fill it again rather than just topping back up. I haven't done this before. I don't have any bike...

Hi guys I want to change the coolant on my '06 Factory so was wondering if there's any special procedure for doing it or not ?? I'm assuming it's just a matter of taking the bottom hose off the rad etc but is there a drain plug on the block too ?? Also is there any specific brand of coolant...

Morning chaps....just a quick question, what coolant colour and type for the Rotax ?

Hey, So just curious as to what coolant can be used in my '03 T. Is all coolant nowadays pretty much the same or are some not ok to use? Cheers eddie

The winter project is about to hit the rebuild stage with the impending delivery of my ECU and clocks fresh with a bit of Gabro magic. What coolant do people recommend? and how much does the system hold? Cheers in advance :thumbup

Hi all, I've been seeing a slight coolant leak on my 08 r. When I rev high, coolant flows up and back from the right hand of the fairing, at the top, where the fairing meets the black trim panel (the horizontal one). I've had the fairing off and had a good look at the radiator cap and all those...

Just noticed the falco I bought 2 weeks ago has no coolant. Its developed a vibration at 5.5k could this be engine damage?

To try and rid my 2008 Bol D'or of its many leaks, I've bought new silicon hoses. The dealer has agreed to fit them for nothing when it goes in for its MOT in a few weeks. My dilemma is, should I keep riding with the (small but noticeable) leaks? Or is it easy enough to do a coolant change/hose...

Hi all My 2008 Bol D'or has developed a coolant leak. I've traced it to the RH side of the bike, as you're sitting on it. You can see a silver/metal pipe running down that side of the bike from the rad down. It's leaking at the top of that metal pipe where it goes into a short rubber hose. Could...

just come out the garage, ive noticed on my gen 2 that the lower short rubber coolant hose on the right hand side has cut marks. they have been caused by the sharp edges of the belly pan. either cut back the plastic pan leaving a decent gap or wrap the hose with a jubalee clip to protect...

daft question probably, do they use much coolant, think mine needs topped up, cant see the level between the markers when cold, though it is running cool enough to me, do I just use normal decent quality antifreeze in it?

I give up - I cant find the actual amount of coolant the gen 1 engine requires! ( rsvr 01 ) Can someone tell me or point me the right direction ...The owners manual and engine service manuals are a negative...!:eek: Grtzz.....

Bit different this, but how much coolant does a '98 model Mille hold?

Afternoon all, Just had a short ride home from work and as i was removing my helmet i spotted a puddle forming under the bike. The coolant tank is almost empty and with the fairings off i can see spray all over the front of the engine. It seems to be coming from high on the left side but i...

Hi all, I need some help. The coolant temp indicator suddently turned on yesterday. I checked the coolant level which is fine. Does this have something to do with the two thermistors one on each side of the engine? I haven't performed any tests or check yet, just wanted to get a head start...

Taking my 2007 RSV out the other day my temp went through the roof on further insp I had a loose bottom coolant hose and it had dropped all it's coolant I got it home stripped it down filled both the rad and the exp tank with pro cool and it was good as gold but now on two separate occasions...

Long time no post. After dismantling, cleaning, and flushing through the radiators and coolant hoses on my 2000 rsvr, I was wondering; do i need to bleed anything when I refil the system? I've looked for posts relating to this, but couldn't find any, so sorry if I'm repeating a previous...

Hi riders, My 2005 apriliaRSV is bleeding coolant!:confused Ive figured out where it is leaking from (the bigger gasket which seems to seal behind the clutch casing) Is it straight forward to remove this R/H casing, or do i need to drain the engine oil and remove the clutch basket?
