Coolant Reserve Bottle

RE: Coolant Reserve Bottle
Yeah
+1 on that loose hose clamp. When i first got my bike it was leaking a little bit out of that hose on the right side of the bike. The clamp just wasn't tightened enough from factory, i don't think the first owner ever noticed this cuz he hardly rode it.
Another thing about that coolant reserve bottle is you can't see through it at all! I thought mine was empty so i topped it off....next thing ya know i'm loosing coolant out of th coolant hose on the bottom (1 of the 3 hoses). Guess i overfilled it...oh well that's what that overflow hose is for.

"With the engine at NORMAL operating temperature, check the coolant level in the reserve tank. It should be between the upper and lower level marks."
I can't see **** in my reserve tank until the bike is at the right temp and standing staright up and down, then it is fine. Before I read the manual I thought I was running empty!

RE: Coolant Reserve Bottle
checked mine last night, seems ok. Its not the easiest fluid to see. Like said above, bike has to be at opp temp and upright, ill have to re-check to make sure its within 2 lines etc. Turkey baster, lol yep that would work, thx. And a big +1 on the loose hose clamp, mine was leaking a tad, ive since tightened all is good
