Losing water

I hope it isnt anythin serious.

Im gonna keep my hopes high and presume that its just leaking - whats the best way of checking?

 

thats what i want to find out. What i should have said was "whats the best way of checking.....where its leaking from" :S

 

cheak near your head cylinder cheak the edges for any leaks might of blown a head gasit it has to be that

 

also take the spark plug out and cheak that to be on the safe side

 

Engine oil should be checked - if its milky you might have a blown head gasket

 

2stroke runs thru the engine tho? how else can i check?

I wanted to 1st check if it was leaking from radiator/pipes (to keep hopes high) I really dont want it to be the head gasket

 

Radiator cap diaphragm could be sticking open - to check it out take it off when cold and put it in a saucepan of boiling water - you should be able to observe it opening up and when it gets cold closing again

 

Interesting.....i will check this

 

What is it with you and killing machines Ben? LOOOOL

 

lol! why dont they just make 'em strong enough to handle how i drive/ride!??

Well good news! head gasket isnt gone! Got home from work yesterday and went back to the bike about 20mins later only to see a puddle of antifreeze - so i traced the water trail, whipped petrol tank off and it was coming from the cap.

What now tho....i cant see how this overflow diaphram works. Sommats not working the same tho as it never used to do it - oh and the cap is definately tight
