My CBR is puking
Hi Guy`s,
I have a slight problem that is wrecking My head.
My 96 CBRF has started to throw out coolant from the overflow pipe after a run, it doesn`t do it every time, it doesn`t overheat, it gets to temp then the fan cuts in when caught in traffic.
Has anyone got any ideas??? its gotta be somethin simple that i`ve overlooked but i just can``t get a grip on it, any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Regards Mike

If you fan is working it is good, but make sure your thermostat is working properly. Then check in your overflow thank, the overflow tupe should not go to the bottom of the thank because the system will think the tank is full, if this is the case, cut it down to 3\4 of it lenght or take it out completly. also make sure that you have no air leaks in your cooling system. If this is the cse the collant will boil at a lower temp then usual.

Thanks Guy`s
I thought it may be the cap, so i changed it for one that I have from a scrapped cbrf, still didn`t sort it, I`ll check into the other stuff over the weekend, I have another thermostat, if the overflow pipe ain`t the problem i`ll check the stat.
will let ya know how it goes
