Bluezx6r Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 A week ago maybe a little less then a week i noticed my bike at a red light was getting to temps of about 221 degrees. I checked my coolant of course it was low and i noticed what i think to be an overflow tube that seemed to maybe be leaking the coolant because my Underfairing was wet. So today i check my coolant and its low agian almost back to where i started, Is this Normal??What could be the issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funjunkie Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 225 is HOT!! Witch ASK touched your bike? I wont go there. ShittyGSXR is probably right, bet it just need more coolant. Get a service manual and do that shit yourself, its easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disclaimer Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 225 is a normal peak temp for a twin (idling in the summer at stoplights - with the eFans on), probably not an I4 bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
