Already on the list Bryan and you’re completely right on the fault, same on the VFR’s.
Apparently is a common fault across a heap of manufacturers, especially the Suzuki’s and Aprilia’s. Thanks for the heads up tjough pal.

That’s my thinking tbh but without popping it off I can’t be sure. Hoping to get into it once the vans sorted Thursday. They’re a pig to get to as well aren’t they  Typical lol, keep you posted though Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Rose hit 109 degrees today in Bath in the rain which was a surprise, think she needs a good look. Might just need burping but I think it’s the rad cap leaking air causing the pressure to drop and not pull fluid from the overflow back to the rad as there’s no hiss when you open the cap. It is 22 years old after all and she’s been ridden quite hard over the years with some monster miles on her now so wouldn’t surprise me but I’ll do the full checks and see what the coo is.

I have yet to read about anyone on here using the newish waterless coolant on a bike - its better than water for it's cooling properties - just wish it was about in the 1970's when my Cooper S overheated in London.
I had it in my Ducati and the ZX-7R I had Ted, I haven’t put it back into the VFR yet as still fiddling but I will it’s awesome stuff. My pal has it in all his race bikes; crossers and road bikes and works brilliantly. Its only downfall is the cost but it all depends on what you want out of a coolant where you are. I shouldn’t think the lads up in the Orkney Islands wouldn’t need it but it’s common to find bikes in the continent and the states using it for obvious reasons Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That's great news to get a rocking horse part like that. The power of the forum.
Good work Roo
How's the mighty Viffer performing following it's head transplant?
In the end he got a full set up from a mate of his that was cafe-ing his bike so still got a complete set up here for another member should they need one. Like you say though, power of the forum rocks doesnt it  ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ehyup Dave, like a train thanks and hadn’t missed a best although a bit like a ‘slithery train’ whilst out today in this manky weather. Tractors, mud, diesel all over today…..eek!
I’ve been over in the states for a month and whilst away the body control unit in the van decided to have a bad hair day so until it goes in on Thursday to the auto electricians I’m on the bike. Bbbbrrrrr!
I am however, having overheating issues so about ready to go back in there and see what the coo is. There’s a number of things to check and hoping it shouldn’t be too bonkers but it’s an interesting fault.
It’s only doing it in traffic and as you know, they run hot anyway. It it’s creeping up there but more than it should so it’s either rad cap, cracked transfer pipe, thermostat, water pump or thermostat switch on the fan. Bit to check but I should get it.
Another winter on it has taken its toll on the fasteners and a few are buggered so the plating bath is needing to come out at some point but it can wait a while yet. Really chuffed with the engine though as like I say, running like an absolute train with a flick of the wrist. How’s yours after effectively de-tuning it for the LEV. Any noticeable difference?

Hi, I have a complete air box and several lids if you still need one, drop me a pm and we can have a haggle. I presume it’s the 550 you’re working on?

evening all from across the pond. Who was it that wanted a pair of caliper adjuster screws sorting out over here, Ive had a phone meltdown with all the spam you get over here and have temporrily lost a load of stuff. Could said member poke his arm up and let me know as I have them and coming home next week ? Fanks and apologies for being a bit crap!

Its not stainless Dom, its just one I was practising my plating on, It came out really well but I had some SS ones to fit anyway, like I say, ,more of a practice piece but youre welcome to it once I get home and dig it out. I know where it is, just hope its the right size for you mate, should be

I did just that with my frame as you know Ken, only from your recommendations mind. Wax oil in everything, holes in the bottom rails and all the gaps welded up before powder coating. Looks much better now and hopefully won’t rot as bad as standard. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
