Morning Peeps,


This morning I started my bike and saw coolant p*ssing everywhere. Switched off and found my nearside coolant hose detached from a spout just to the right of the nearside spark plugs. I re-attached and then found that my idle screw needed about 12 turns clockwise before it would idle at a good RPM. I *then* found that the clutch lever wouldn't fully press in. I gave it a firm press and it gave and seems to operate normally now. Either someone had accidentally disturbed these cables somehow or...well, I don't think I've made any enemies recently...

Long story short, I drove to work this morning (about 17 miles) and all seems ok but I need to top up the coolant as it looks like it's around the 'low' marker.


So, I have a couple of questions: Any advice on coolant brand/type? What proportion of coolant to water should I mix? Also, does the water need to be distilled?


Thanks guys,


David.

RD250 those were the days.


Many thanks Martin.

When I was 14, I hoped that one day I would have a girlfriend. When I was 16 I got a girlfriend, but there was no passion. So I decided I needed a passionate girl with a zest for life. In college I dated a passionate girl, but she was too emotional. Everything was an emergency, she was a drama queen, cried all the time . So I decided I needed a girl with stability.

When I was 25 I found a very stable girl but she was boring. She was totally predictable and never got excited about anything. Life became so dull that I decided I needed a girl with some excitement.

When I was 28 I found an exciting girl, but I couldn't keep up with her. She rushed from one thing to another, never settling on anything. She did mad impetuous things and flirted with everyone she met. She made me miserable as often as happy. She was great fun initially and very energetic, but directionless. So I decided to find a girl with some ambition.
When I turned 31, I found a smart ambitious girl with her feet planted firmly on the ground and married her. She was so ambitious that she divorced me and took everything I owned. Now, I'm 40 and just looking for a girl with big tits.

18000miles on it. 550lb spring on it. Damping fine solo but struggled a bit 2 up with luggage

Fitted a 2 line goodridge hose to the fazer. I don't own a mityvac or similar so it's a big syringe on one nipple and the other cracked off to let the air out, then pump up the m/c until you get pressure then bleed as normal.
As an aside, anyone fitted a radial m/c and what size?
Was thinking 16mm piston (ubiquitous nissin).

Went to see Top Gear Live with my daughter at the Hydro in Glasgow on Sunday....£90 a ticket and what a load of PISH....loads of cars screeching around some of them on fire, car curling (which was pure shite), a beauty parade of Aston Martins, Ferraris, etc, Scotland against England at car football and some well rehearsed panto style shite banter......did enjoy 4 frenchies on bikes running round inside a sphere thing though.

Not worth the money if anyone is going
