Okay iv got a d125 r .
I keep having to top the rad up.
I do 65 miles a week on the bike and every sort of three or four weeks i have to top the rad with water/antifreeze. My temp gauge will just slowly get higher and higher until i have to top up.
Now i cant detect andy leaks ..
Im thinking this, the top off my rad has a seal and seems a little worse for wear, could it be evaporating ?
Or any ideas will be cool Thumbs Up
I cant think off anything else.
Also if iv been getting a little happy with the throttle and riding a little fast it seems to need toping sooner, this is why im thinking its evaporation.
Thanks Dan Karma Thumbs Up

My hornet did that following some rad damage, soon after the engine seized... Shocked

Is there any white shit building up near the cap?

If you really can't find anywhere that the water is going then it could be the head gasket.
