Moto-Brian Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 I think you cook it. Empty coolant is not a good sign. Running it really hot is going to cause issues. Did you run it to the 185-ish mark and note the temps falling before climbing again like I mentioned? If not, the thermostat is done for.You might have popped a head gasket or something also...Call Reuben (35 Motorsports and sponsor on here) as he is the absolute most knowledgeable GSXR guy around (Was courted by Yosh and KWS) and can possibly help you via phone to diagnose. Taking it to him is best...317-850-3884. Tell him I sent you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

undr_psi Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 On a side note..is a bike like a car as far as if the head gasket goes the oil may turn a milky color due to the oil and coolent mixing..or is it totaly diffrent? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoughnuT Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 Would depend on where it pops at. Not all cars have the "milky" oil as a visual note. Make sure you check the out put on the battery. I seen you checked everything else, but please check it. One of the most under looked things is the battery, and it can solve a lot of issues. Check it with key off, with key on, and check when the starter is engaged. Let us know what the readings are. If a cell has went bad, it may not have enough juice to establish a good flow to keep everything going. Also, check yourself about the pump. Just because it was good when put in, doesn't mean that it won't go bad. Something to look into.If the oil hasn't changed color, then put fluid into the coolant, and see if there is a leak in any part of the system. Coolant had to go some where.

It either is weeping through the water pump area or he has an issue.The oil turning milky is not always the case and on bikes, is not usually an indicator. He mentioned some REALLY high temps and running it as such and that can be a major issue.No codes and everything sounding the same as if it were fine is telling me it is not electrical. The sidestand switch will throw a code and trying to lock it out is fine, but it would still shoot a code. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
