ORIGINAL: Nauree

I flushed my coolent. I put 3 bottles of waterwetter and the rest distilled water. It still over heating.

I'd drop your rad/s and put a garden hose to it. If its not coming out real well, then its clogged with something.


Did you replace any parts and used sealant?

It was coming out really good. I took off the drain bolt in the water pump and cam shaft. I poored 2 gallons of distilled water in it. I acctully think I might be low on oil for some reason.

The thermostat needs to be checked and or changed before you go any further. It's quite possible that your problem is there.

Also, when you say overheat, are you talking getting to red from riding at a steady 35 or 45 mph, or sitting in traffic at 90*? If it's the latter and not the former, I'd check into the fan switch as that should be kicking on. (an apparent problem in my bike right now )
