OK,

So I went down to mud n tar today to pick up a new radiator cap, and by chance he had "engine ice" on the shelf.

He told me my cap looked fine but I bought a new one any way just to be sure.

Rod also recommended Liquid Intelligence but didn't have it in stock.

My problem with that one is that I'm trail riding not racing, and I might need to use a bit of water from my camelbak or a creek to get me home, so I need a coolant that can mix with water.

Long story short, hard hilly, luggy tight and twisty single this arve and it was hot as fk.

Absolutely no dramas, not a single bubble at all. The fan started less than it usually does as well.

So whether it's the cap or the engine ice (I'm tipping it's the engine ice) it seems to be sorted.

Hope this helps someone with similar dramas.

He also had my new instrument unit as well, so that was the last bug out of my arse and I'm pretty happy now.

I'd give Rod and Tracy at Mud n Tar Wauchope NSW a thumbs up for Aussies in the area.

Considering how they've helped me with warranty claims on a bike they didn't sell me, I'd be very comfortable with buying a Suzuki or Gasser from them.

He reckons he's talking to Sherco as well...
