It would be nice to be part of a motorbike group again. Unfortunately, too many family and work commitments.

Nice job al, btw looking at ur impellar, i suggest u do alkaline or vinegar flushing in ur system first, look damn rusty sia, high chances the rust has make its way thru the system

[AztecBB]

Just got my bb back from the shop today. Everything looks good. Mech says the current radiator is a local one, not original. Engine temp was about 102-108 degrees celsius while riding.

 

Should I be worried?

[greysnail]

Wat happen to ur bb atco? Ori rad is aluminium. If there's no leak den no need to worry, ensure the cooling fins are not badly as it helps to cool ur rad.

[greysnail]

As for the temp, its quite normal even on expressway as the ambient temp also plays a part, simply said, hot weather with low humidity will increase the temp, if hot nite time will also give same reading.its all abt the ambient temp la bro.

[greysnail]

Opps my bad, its for aztecbb

[Alpacino]

Is coolant mixture 50/50 better or full coolant type better...

As bro Sanasakai mentioned, there's Honda Type 2 coolant, can be bought from Thian Seng at waterloo, can't remember the price, but pretty affordable. Same stuff as the Honda HP coolant for M/C.

 

Have to take note, if switching from HOAT to OAT coolants, mixing might result in sludge. Always ensure system fully drained of old coolant before switching over. The silicates in the old stuff may precipitate out.

 

Anyway, just monitor the coolant expansion bottle out of habit. If you see scum forming inside or on the surface of the coolant in the bottle, it may be a good time to check out the cooling system.
