Hi,

Recently my runner (VXR200) been leaking a bit of coolant out everytime I ride.

It has never happened before. It's coming out from the coolant cap. Any idea what could be wrong?

 

Thanks

 

PS I have not topped up my coolant.

 

i got the same problem too... after my full servicing den happen one... is it coolant too much?

There is a drain hole on the fuel tank cap, but its too small to drain water out when heavy rain. When water flooded on the fuel tank cap area, water will get in from the key hole. One way to solve it is to mod the drain hole bigger, let the water flow faster out of the fuel tank cap area.

after doing this will stop or prevent rain going into fuel tank?

[sheep]

but i wondering how they fix it in...

because runners uses the screw in type right? i tried the normal small screwed in type of mirrors... when it's fixed it looks so ugly...

and theres a big gap in the mirrors screw in part .. if rain sure goes in...

 

Ugly and cant see shiet

No matter if u make the lobang bigger ...no more virgin...loose already...the only thingy is that u have to seal it...never try never knows..try already want somemore...

Tested and proven on my runner. left it under heavy rain whole day...no water in fuel tank.

making the hole bigger will some water accidently flow into fuel without u noticing ? nvm...thanks for the idea anyway...u got a nice runner...

[ahboy535]

oya...the coolant leaking problem think quite common among runners...my frens riding also experience that problem...maybe top up or just change a new cap will do the trick ba...

[ahboy535]

go to the other runner links to ask ard...surely will get answer by more lao jiao runner riders... ^_^

[evilboi]

change new cap? but it never happens b4 i go do full service leh... change cap how much?

[spy622]

orginal mirrors so far r the best...the rest of the small mirrors r for "blink" purpose.

 

try riding in the un lighted streets of Msia or the Norht South Highway at night n c if your small mirrors help

[evilboi]

front 1.7 bar = 24.65646 psi

rear 2 bar

2.2 bar with pillion = 31.90836 psi

 

i tried this but it seems not enough leh.... my tyre got more air den wats needed?

[ViXeR]

ya i agree the original mirrors are far way better than the mirrors i have used on my previous bike. but dunno why it's designed so far on the side...

maybe those italians dun squeeze traffic in italy.

I haven face any problems squeezing using orginal mirrors for the past 4yrs.

Squeezing is slightly more difficult if u had huge balancers

air expands when heated up.

Just a face lift so dun expect much diff.

It is call the Runner ST200 same 200cc 4stroke piaggio leader engine

 

I hate dat ugly windscreen but the additional fairing does look gd to me..n finally they decided to change the expensive runner mirrors to something "cheaper"...n a funny looking tail rack

 

Looks like the windshield is height adjustable, like the FJRs and STXs

really ah bro? you should be up front most of the time what ...

 

anyway original mirrors and big balancers make for difficult squeezing but if you are unsure just open throttle.................

[Reese]

hmm... were u at AMK Tech Place 2?

i saw a runner similar to urs with a piece of cloth draped over the fuel cap
