Coolant and 1.8 bar cap?
Hey guys,
Just put on a new 1.8 bar radiator cap to replace the old bent cap I had.
Since putting the cap on it has boiled over twice after a warm up ride. I have refilled to top of the radiator and assume that the boiling over is only due to this as it did not do it before.Does this sound correct?
The boiling over does not continue and there is water still over the fins of the radiator.
Next question:
I have very watered down coolant in the bike. Is the coolant type and mixing a problem with bikes as it can be for cars?
I don't know what the previous owner used , hence why the water top ups.
What is the best type to use in this situation?
Do I need to flush the whole system thoroughly?
I very rarely ride in places that are below 5degrees celsius.
Thanks in advance ,
Mark
