Radiator - Problem Encountered

[GSX2VERS]

blackmamba...how's your bike?

my ver s also the same probs...only the coolant is leaking from the left side of the block.

 

Did you go to eddie @ amk? Thinking of going tomorrow to repair.

what's the cost of your repair?

[raven77]

$1200 might as well trade in to buy another bike...

[skateboy]

if coolant leak internally, they may need to remove the block n since they remove the block, i believe they'll do a check on every part to c got prob anot... cos u dun happy happy do top overhaul rite??

 

n if coolant leak into the lub oil sump, then EO is contaminated so EO n filter all need to change...

 

so eventually this process cost a bomb... :cry:

I am riding verS too, never had this problem b4( cross finger). But i suppose verS are likely to have coolant leak because the owner would probably sell it away coz the repair price too much. The same problem arises for the next owner and so on...and they story continue goes around...thus the problem is never solved till someone spent the bomb to get it fixed. But if you were to sell, I suggest u sell to motortiam so that they can fixed it .Or when the next owner buys ur bike, they can go back find the bike shop u sold to.

from what i know, this is big problem.. its the coolent leaking inside into ur engine.. very exp to repair one.

 

if u dun wanna spend so much to repair, i suggest u sell the bike to shop, but must drain out the coolent before pushing in.

 

for anyone who's buying a bike not vtec, be careful.. cuz shops drain out the coolent to cover up this problem..

[ichiro_jeff]

waH~! $1.2k not a small amount wor..

ive been riding s4 vs for 2 months le.. hope nothing will haPPen to my biKE.. if not i sure curse n swear de~!

no, not that one. the coolant reservoir is much bigger. u have to open up your seat to find it. near battery compartment.

my radiator cap is tight i already check. .

try replacing your radiator cap and then monitor your reservoir. if problem persists, send for a check up, might be leaking somewhere bit by bit.

Hey bros, my spec 2's radiator has a big problem! In one of the hoses of the circuit of the radiator fluid's route, it's leaking out the coolant fluid in droplets at first. Now it's spraying out the fluid even while i'm riding it.

 

I took out the tank and found out that the metal tube that was tighten together with the rubber hose is now broken, much to my horror!

 

The location of the metal part that is broken is in between the fuel tank and the engine block on the left hand side of the bike. If you peer inside the spacing just above the engine block, you can see that the rubber hose is attached to a silverish metal connector by a screw ring lock. Now my problem is that the rubber hose is hanging out loose as the metal inlet connecting the rubber hose is now broken.

 

Has any of you bros encounter this problem before? Anyone knows where can i get it fixed cheaply and reliabily? Any help rendered will be much appreciated!
