So I flushed my coolant after i got my bike. After several flushes I refilled the radiator and overflow tank with a water wetter/distilled. On my first ride i notice alot of fluid purging out of the overflow pee tube. It would do it every time it would reach the 200 range when the fan was kicked on. Seem like a significant amount each time, enough to make a small puddle.
So unsure of what was going on I did another flush and replaced with standard radiator fluid. Thinking that perhaps that the water wetter mix was somehow expanding and causing this.. i dunno... But of course that didn't fix anything. Still peeing quite a bit. I purchased a new radiator cap and still notice a lil peeing on my way home today and it seems to have emptied the overflow tank. No overheating just alot of peeing.
So I guess I'm wondering if anyone has experienced this? Am I doing something wrong? Do I need to do something special in purging the system? As far as I understood it didn't really need "purging" per say.
Also what are the standard temps to see at highway speeds? I'm seeing 185-190. I'm in Florida so.. I'm just used to my CBR1000RR that's usually 170s cruising highway.
Thanks
