You know I dont think I ever cracked the air bleeder with the new coolant. I think I did when I had watter wetter in it but not the Engine Ice. I just need to rebleed it and get the process correct with the whole standing the bike up and when to remove the rad cap etc etc. Who wants to ride to Dublin and double check me and then go for a ride later? lol
Basically I've prepped the bike for the track but now I'm running into issues. I replaced the OE Coolant with Engine Ice and now the bike wants to overheat! To be honest I'm afraid I might have popped a head gasket but wanted to get some other opinions. Here's the rundown: -replaced coolant about a month or so ago with Engine Ice -noticed off and on that the bike seemed to be running a tad hotter than usual (190ish cruising) -Rode to MidOhio last week and it ran hot within say 20 miles of the track (~200) while at 65 mph -On the way home from MidOhio It started to run REALLY hot while cruising (220) and reached all the way to 245 when I got pulled into my house. Yes I know this is bad and I might have caused internal damage but I couldn't do much to cool it down. -Thinking maybe I just needed to bleed it better I went and bought another stupid bottle of Engine Ice to top it off and bleed it. It was a little low when I filled it but the overflow tank was still full?! -While topping the bike off I rocked it back and fourth and side to side then proceeded to run the bike with the cap off. (I didn't see any bubbles in the radiator like you would normally see with a blown HG) -Rode the bike again tonight thinking I had fixed the issue and it ran fine on he highway (180@80mph) but when I got down onto city streets it shot straight for 220 and struggled to maintain. I turned the bike off for about 5 minutes and went back to ride low and behold the bike reached 237 just sitting! Mind you this is after maybe 20 minutes of riding. Sorry for the long read but I don't know what to do from here I think Ill go back to stock coolant and see if that's the issue but everyone raves about Engine Ice. Any help is appreciated.
I hope Lebron and the game just under estimated them a little. To be honest I figured they would sweep the series. Remember now the cavs haven't played a game in how long now?
Ill have to look into those forums, thanks for the tip! As for signing up for "I group" well lets just say I'm not that dumb. I know I would just be getting in the way at least my first couple of times out.
I would love to but I need to get at least one maybe even a few Novice day(s) under my belt. EDIT: Does anyone know how I would go about maybe getting on a waiting list in case someone can't make it? I already took the day off work...
I've been on a bajillion different forums with a bajillion different posts but never had one. Can anyone help me out? I have whatever pics you need. Thanks
