Just an update...took it out to kelens penrith-who were nice enough to agree to take a quick geeze at me bike despite being booked out till 21/12- and I've been assured by the mech(Chris?) there that i shouldnt be worried as nothing out of the norm happened. The bloke was helpful beyond words and I ...

if the water blew out of the overflow after rilling the overflow bottle to the brim, then that would be understandable.

When the bike gets warm the water level rises (hence the Hot level and Cold level) on the overflow bottle.

If its overheating while moving, thats a bit odd, normally a speed of ...

Theres no way for me to know how much water we added but it wasnt as if the container was empty before filling which we did until it was completely full.

Hello ppl. Just picked up a 650 in the morning getting ready to get my l's @ the end of jan(yes im keen but im sure those of you who have lost your license for extensive amounts of time would understand). 2010 model with just 2000kms and the bloke has barely driven(or serviced it for that matter ...
