gen3flygirl Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 you should zip tie a NOS energy drink bottle to the frame and place the overflow line in that. Does wonders for my 500 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkow97 Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 on the k7 GSXR 600 listed under your screen name?Where is the fluid coming from? is your overflow reservoir full? is it closed? I would suspect that your most likely place to get a leak is some hose connection that loosened up, and hasn't been put under pressure until the 90 degree heat today... you're probably going to have to take off the bodywork to see anything, so start there.

ReconRat Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 yeah, find the leak. While you're looking, check and tighten radiator hose connections.edit: and make sure no hoses or tubes are pinched part way shut by body work or parts.That raises the pressure a lot.

redkow97 Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 this should go without saying, but try to avoid rolling through the antifreeze. Glycol based coolant is slick.You'll also want to clean it up right away if you have pets or small children. Most kids aren't dumb enough to lick something off the garage floor, but pets will. Antifreeze tastes kind of sweet, and is quite toxic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamez Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 Drain out all the antifreeze and fill it with a 50/50 mix of concrete powder and warm water. Let it sit for a few hours and BAM! No more leaks! Ever! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
