Radiator hose help!!!!

[adiddy]

Well in that case I'd take it back to them and complain - they said they'd fixed the problem which they obviously have not if your bike's still overheating. They must sort it out. Go in and be firm, not rude and it should go your way.

but what if it was quite a while ago , say two months?

Do your fan's come on when it gets hot? is your radiator full and the overflow container at about half full?

if the fans dont come on you may have more than one problem

if there isnt enought liquid in the beast it will def cook up

if i was in town id sort it out for ya

i dont know shithouse about cooling on bikes , but could it also be a blockage in the radiator or lines or somewhere which as the bike gets worked and needs more cooling it cant get enough coolant running through.
does the bike gradually get hotter?
what about if you drop gears and rev more does it get hotter or cooler?
you prob need temp guage to tell.
our ute done a simialr thing recently. gradually got hotter and when i dropped a gear and it got more revs it actually cooled down.
changed radiator and it sweet as now.
was all rotted out the old one.

If I'm still in auckland on saturday I can give you a hand, or I'll be back sometime the end of next week if you haven't got it sorted out by then

ok kewl thanks guys..

it will be fine , sitting at about 1/4 on the temp gauge ... then after maybe half an hours riding itl jump up to 1/2 way and then vary between half and almost red till i pull over as it get s hot ( very very close to the red part/ on the border)
i wait a while then it will be fine then itl heat up again etc

yup fan does come on, yes the correct amount of liquid, what if overflow is almost 6/8s full ?? will that bring problem

[twinkle]

maybe the thermostat isn't opening up fully, heat gradually builds up?

[adiddy]

could be , i have the fan hardwired now ... i turn it on and off befopre/after each ride

Check to make sure the catch tank and the tube from the catch tank aren't gunked up. As well as the overflow tube from the catch thank.

[adiddy]

thanks guys. i am still having trouble with it aye

[MSTRS:Me]

Sounds to me like you'd best be taking your bike, manual and some dosh to a radiator specialist. They can pressure test the system to check for leaks, back-flush to remove any buildup of sludge, check the thermostat, ensure the correct amount of anti-freeze is in there....get the picture?

You may have the same issue that i had.

My bike would keep over heating, and i couldnt figure out why. It had been sitting for a good time, and all the radiotor cores had blocked up, except 2

I had the same symptoms as you. So, take your rad to a rad repair shop, and see what they tell you.

Ps, it happened on the same bike as yours

[adiddy]

i had it pressure tested mstrs they rekon tis fine and it was the radiator cap.... that was 2 months ago, i stayed off the bike to study for exams ...
rg100 thank you will endeavour to get that done asap
