Gnasher - hauzitgaun?
Bike is 2007 with 42k
I drained coolant (it was pink - I'd done it when dropping the rad a couple of years ago to replace plugs - will be doing that again shortly..)
Coolant was pre-mixed (i.e. not solution +makeup water)
Everthing was/is clean - I flushed with Radflush and nothing - hoses and rad all clean internally
No tuning mods (excl downgearing + speedohealer)
Now since my last post I drained again and then refilled - this time forcing antifreeeze in through rad cap hole (with a plastic container and flexi nozzle which a 'tight' fit in the rad cap hole) - this seems to have fixed it but it still creeps up to 103°C when standing after a run...I was hence thinking an airlock?
Not sure how it has come about though, as when it first happened it was like a switch - suddenly overtemp light on (which initially I was thinking WTF is the low oil pressure warning on before I realised it was temp!) - at that point it was at 120°!!
I'll take it out again maybe tonight (I'm using the VFR at the moment
[size=78%]) and will record the temperature fluctuation more rigorously and report (this is infuriating the fek outa me!)[/size]
