Hey everyone,
I bought this bike with 6600 miles, and over the last month, put 1500 miles on it. I have not seen an over temp light not once.
I decided to check my coolant and reservoir level today, the reservoir was empty, and the radiator was pretty much empty. Emptying my system gave me about 400ml of blue coolant. Filling the system, my bike started to purge it all through boiling, right out the reservoir drain hose at 100*C. Which makes sense to me if the system is holding 0 air. However it was closed, and in my eyes should be holding pressure. The PO had a "1.1 Bar radiator cap" with one of those fancy thermostats on it, which I have not changed yet. Can someone point me in the right direction? Fan relay works using the diagnostic mode, but I don't think it turns on below 100C.
I'm leaning towards the cap being faulty before it being a head gasket or anything like that. Running the bike with the cap off, I do not see the pressure inside the radiator that would need to be there for it to be a head gasket issue.
