my RIGHT radiator seems to have the capacity of a small egg cup, it has two but any idea ruffly what they should hold, pint?? liter??

also when i run the bike it pushes out like 1/2 a beer can of liquid then as soon as i get of and lean it over at the end of a ride it sucks it all back in and make somewhat loud clicking noises( thermostaic valve???)

Any ideas peeps

i think i might run with out the valve for a bit as it seems allot better last time. Also going to get some "radiator flush" form halfords???

i have this wacky two radiators connected at the top thing going on and they both seem to get hot but the left one allot more than the right?

cheers Thumbs Up

I don't know about the specifics of your bike (can't remember what you are riding at the moment), but the V-Raptor has 2 radiators, one for the engine coolant and one for the oil. I suggest you find out if this is the case before you try and top them both up with water! Shocked

What does ya temp gauge do? When my bike started to push out water (this usually happened at the end of a journey though) I found that the head gasget had gone and the pressure form the piston was going into the water system. But you'll see the temp gauge go mental first I'd suspect.
