Posted: 22:46 - 29 Mar 2004 Post subject: Quite simply, my bike is bleeding. |
|
|
Pulled into my road after a 25 minute ride back from work. Everything was going well until I came to a halt and noticed something was wrong.
Smoke. Not much, but enough for me to think some minor fire had started. So... I cut the engine, clunk her into neutral and roll her onto the pavement, propping her up.
To cut a long story short it seems I'm loosing fluid, and it's greeny in colour. I know that it isn't brake fluid but I've got no idea what it actually *is*. So far the theory is that it's coolant, and that a stone chip has damaged my radiator, but as it's night and my torch is AWOL I can't check
Does this sound about right? Also, I've got my MOT soon, should I chance riding it to the MOT and letting them fix whatever is wrong, or should I fix it ASAP.
I'm such a newbie with bikes at the moment, I've got no idea how to fix it, or even if I can/should.
Thanks in advance.
Chris
(Edit: My bike is an Aprilia RS125... figures huh...) |

It really wasn't happy. I'm going to check it out tomorrow when I've got some light to deal with |

Nevermind. I did the obvious and read the service manual (after finding it at last)
Next time, tell me to shut up and use the search button |

Old Thread Alert!
The last post was made 20 years, 82 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful? |
