hi all, new to the forum, just wondered if someone could help me out, 6 weeks ago purchased an aprilia rs 125 o5 plate, done 9000 miles and had engine rebuilt at about 8000, its just been sitting in the back garden, covered up with me just starting it up every now and then just to stop anything freezing up, and today when i started it up everything seemed fine but there was a little bit of constant smoke coming from the hole in the top of the radiator, is it just condensation as its sitting outside or is this something to be worried about

thanks

When was the last time you started it up and/or rode it before the smoke come out?

Smoke coming from the radiator, which should be full of water? I'd be crapping myself....

Which hole at the top of the radiator?

A picture will speak 1000 words.

Hi

Should be no hole there (although might be an extra bleed screw hole there, on the l/h side at the top, but should have a bolt in it). Can you take a photo of exactly where the steam is coming from?

All the best

Katy
