I started this thread on another forum but I wanted to change to here to get your ideas and suggestions I went for a bike ride the other morning and everything was great When I was nearly home and sitting at the lights smoke came from under the airfilter cover Last night I had time to strip...

Wondering if I could use a 90' silicone hosr bend and 2 sleeves ti replace the plastic elbow ? The radius of the bend looks close enough and the hose would colour match the rest of the pipework.....in theory it sound...I'd use an industrial grade sealant to bond the stainless tubes into the...

Is there anyway to repair the stock drain petcock valve? I have a 91 and the PO did not care for the bike properly, so this has been a work in progress. No matter where I turn this, it still drips coolant after the bike has cooled down. I see that there is a little mark on the housing. I...

It started dripping coolant from this plug (#13) and its drains out from spark plug drain hole. Not allot of coolant or all the time (mostly when it warms up and pressurize) :ummm::confused2: How do I go about fixing problem? Can I just pull it out and replace it with new one with all o-Rings...

Howdy, I had to flush the cooling system/radiator etc. I went to refill and noticed that the reservoir was clear full and the coolant isn't being drawn back into the system. I expected a lower system coolant level to cause a drawback of coolant but that doesn't seem to be happening. What...

Im looking to order them today and have them by weeks end. Any one know where I can get them? I meaan right now. Not later. Im in a highly impatient mood today.

My bike is starting to leak coolant from the elbow where it goes into the water pump, any special trick to no damaging the elbow? Should I rebuild the water pump while I'm at it? Sent from my HTC6525LVW using Tapatalk

Noticed my bike running hot today. Put on the fan and it cooled down nicely. When I got home I check the coolant level it was low. I dont know what coolant was in the bike as I bought it in Oct. Can I add any coolant or should I drain the system and refill it . Also whats the best coolant to use...

I was wondering if anyone used Engine Ice, and if so how well did it work? http://www.ebay.com/itm/8108-1100-Engine-Ice-Hi-Performance-Non-Toxic-and-Biodegradable-Engine-Coolant-/171297389417?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item27e21ebb69&vxp=mtr

Anybody ever have a weeping coolant leak from where the coolant hose attaches to the front head? I'm getting ready to drop my engine down for better access to it but I had a small leak from that area all last year, replaced the hose, replaced the clamp, went to a worm clamp and still leaking :(...

HI guys, I'm stumped. I changed and flushed my coolant a couple of weeks ago. since then, she leaks coolant but only when cold, a day or two after I've ridden??? It was coming from The radiator manifold where the plastic housing that the cap goes onto fits flush up with the metal manifold held...

Just about every nut and bolt on my 20 year old VMax is corroded or rounded. Thats probably from being in the tropics. Anyway, was changing the coolant, and the allen screws on the cylinder heads were rounded off. I read in the instructions that I need to remove those to drain the coolant in...

hi guys, its the golden shower bike, i replaced my water pump seals and bearing as i was getting crap in the coolant, all fixed, now i seem to be getting abit of leakage from the breather cover (in the middle of the V). im seriously pissed as i forgot replaced the gaskets for the...

I seriously must be missing a few screws or something. How the hell do you get this coolant elbow in? Maybe I have the wrong orings or something but I've tried everything short of a sledge hammer to get it in, and how the heck do you get it on, both sides and get the gasket in? Seriously think I...

Well I've had an annoying coolant leak all season, been weeping out of the drain off hole under the spark plug on cylinder #2 (front left while sitting on the bike) so I determined it was coming from the coolant hose where it attaches to the head. Trimmed about an inch off the hose to get to...

Started feeling guilty about that ratty old coolant probably clogging up my radiator and water jackets, so time for a change before Thunder. This old coolant HAD to be in the motor for at least 10 years or more, because I honestly don't remember the last time changing it. Ran the bike for a...

So, I just finished doing a lot of work on an 01 that I purchased last August. The only thing on the cooling system I did was replace all the hoses and drain and refil the entire system. After getting the bike running today I noticed every time it gets warm, coolant starts coming out of the...

I am going to replace my coolant pipe elbow with a Otec piece and wanted to know what all is involved. It looks like the manifold needs to be loosened up or even removed and the old elbow is just held on with O-rings. Am I missing anything more? I was going to change the coolant anyways so the...
