Ducati Riders

[seal]

Hey tech gurus, need some advice again. Today my bike overheated while stuck in heavy stop start traffic apparently due to a radiator fan that decided not to function. I experienced a loss of about 500-750ml of cooling liquid from the tank(based on the amount I topped up) as well as overflow of coolant and steam.

 

I stopped the bike in the nearest carpark after about 3 mins, managed to borrow a toolbox and topped up the coolant with distilled water about an hour later after the bike cooled down.

 

I tested the bike around the block and subsequently on the highway after the ride around the block proved to be fine. Seems like the engine temperature rises normally while the engine is idling (about 1 deg every 5-10s). Power and acceleration seem normal. Is my bike fine?

 

I'll be bringing the bike to Minerva on tuesday (should be ok to ride there right?) to get the fan fixed and replace the coolant, but as I read that overheating can cause damage to certain parts, what should I also ask them to check to ensure that the bike is safe to ride? What can overheating damage?

 

Appreciate any advice so I can ride with peace of mind knowing that something isn't going to fail later. Thank you

 

Don't think you need to worry too much unless you continued riding long after the temp warning came on. As long as you avoid stop-go traffic on your way to the workshop, you will be fine. Keep an eye on the temp. If you don't feel good, just get the bike towed down.

Hmm, there was no temp warning light at all, probably I should get that checked. I stripped the fairings today to check for leaks, everything seems dry. Coolant is at the same level as yesterday. But I'll just go down to check anyway. My right side fan was obstructed by a stray cable(which i can't figure out what it's for) Anyway, yesterday when i rode it from Paya Lebar back to my place at Changi it behaved well the whole way, so i'll probably not tow it.

 

Thanks for the advice though! I feel more at ease taking it back out on the road again.

Hey Lawrence, thanks for voting! Was hoping to get more support from fellow Duc riders! I'm in 2nd place now and it's neck to neck with a Filipino guy so every vote counts.

Hi guys,

 

I'm looking to join the ranks, but can't decide what to go for? I'm thinking Monster 696, but would I regret not getting the 796 or 1100? I'm on a limited budget - under $20K so second hand OK. Please advise if you know any for sale, and your recommendations.

 

Cheers,

 

Andrew.
