Default Radiator Cap Question

I had radiator fluid come out of a crack in the overflow hose and I had just had the bike running for a few minutes. I cut off the bad piece of hose an reattached. The question however is, "Does my radiator cap need replaced?" Was the cap letting pressure go prematurely?

Where is the best place to get radiator caps and cheap? lol

You can get a cap at any auto parts store. Bring the old one with you to make sure you get the same one. They may be able to test it for you, but for around $10 just replace it if you're unsure about it.

Yes, sometimes it is difficult to search out what you want. Always try to look at things like this.............



That way it'll be much clearer!

If that does not work for you Grasshopper try this:

Maybe then, Grasshopper, the angels will reveal their secrets to you.

But only if you are worthy.

Go to this LINK. There are 50 pages of compatibility for the cap, pick one.
