That would be appreciated. I'm a bit curious myself.i guess I could test the cap off my crf450 on the Ktm to check it out.

I bet something is up with my/our cap. Did you happen to see what the temp read when the bike was off?Still haven't had a leak or overflow. It was 104° during my ride yesterday. Kept checking the coolant reservoir everytime I stopped and nothing was happening. With as many people reporting issues I would have thought it would have happened yesterday for sure.
Was this with the stock cap?Another note of interest, within 5 seconds of shutting off the bike and leaving the screen on it jumped up 2 bars. Also after 10-12 minutes of idling the fan never once kicked on and it stayed 3 bars below the hot section.
All bars solid except those last ones that are separated from the bunch. Hottest it's ever read... no pukeI bet something is up with my/our cap. Did you happen to see what the temp read when the bike was off?

This is normal. With the bike off there's no coolant flow and the coolant around the sensor is just sitting there heat soaking.Another note of interest, within 5 seconds of shutting off the bike and leaving the screen on it jumped up 2 bars.

Definitely sounds like I've got a partially faulty cap.

I'm having the same problem. It kept puking coolant almost every time that by the end of my fourth ride there wasn't any left in the bike. I ended up having towed it to the dealer to let them look at it. After leaving it there for a week they still couldn't reproduce the issue. They said they are most likely unable to reproduce it since they put different coolant then what the bike comes with from the factory, but they were probably not riding it long enough. Apparently they have a three mile limit unless you give them the ok to ride it more. I'm picking up my bike today. My commute home is 45 min and it looks like it is going to be fairly warm. I guess I'll find out if the problem still occurs.
