SO, While riding home, the cooling system over pressured and blasted me with boiling hot coolant! What a cool feature!!!!!:mad: This bike only has 1600 easy miles to and from work.
Hey guys,
So today I got ten minutes from work, looked down at my petrol tank and there was coolant EVERY where all over my jacket and bike and helmet.
I topped the coolant up and started my ride home tonight, and looked down and noticed that the coolant was escaping from the petrol cap.

The last two times that I've taken my bike out, I've been getting a lot of backfire/popping from the exhaust. It's usually when I'm getting off the freeway and rev matching/downshifting, not really when I just ride around the city. It's never done this before and the bike is completely stock in...
Yesterday my bike gone high coolant temp, the fan didn't ran. (Stock) coolant overflowed and its gone below the level. Now from today i noticed the fan kicking late at high temp (Check the attachment).
Is the thermostat gone?
NEED HELP!!!
Howdy there,
I am a new rider (the RC 390 is my second bike; first was stolen shortly after purchase) and I just had my first wreck last week after about 7k miles on my 390. I posted about this on /r/motorcycles, but I'd like to ask you guys about some repairs.
Here is a picture of the crash...

To start off, I've got about 1300 miles and counting on my RC390. I live near San Diego, and regularly like to go hit up Palomar mountain and the surrounding areas that are in the 3000-6000 foot in elevation range. When I first got my bike, I took it to the top of Palomar (6000ft) and it puked...
I have a track day later this week and was going to ride my bike as is (stock). Wondering if anyone is putting a catch can at the end of the coolant hose (the one that dumps out the bottom of the bike). As most know the belly pan isn't sealed so I want to prevent any coolant from getting on the...
So I think this thing just puked a radiator fan... High coolant temp alert warning coming on as soon as I pull into the driveway. As I go to shut the motor off a high pitch squeal begins! WTF 920 miles and the fan binds up already? Changed the oil early and often, haven't beat the piss out of...
So we all know this bike runs hot. Has anyone tried water wetter as a coolant yet to see if it makes a difference?
I have used it in my other bikes and noticed some difference.
Also, i just got my bike, only rode a few times so far but just noticed today that my coolant level is just above the...
