CBR150R Riders, Join us now!

Thx for the answer Uncle Lim.

 

I very curious, after I flushed out the old coolant from the radiator, I fill in about half I flushed out from radiator. Then I put everything back & on the engine for half a min. After that I check the coolant in container under rider seat does not go down at all. So I open up again the radiator cap to hve a look at it. I didnt see any increasing in coolant, so I pour in new 1 some more to fill up fully the radiator.

 

This is why I wonder whether they are connected.

 

hm..the coolant in reservoir container may be connected w/ the radiator, but whether is the coolant being circulated round the cooling system or not is another issue.

Now u make me confuse.

 

Coolant in container may be connected with the coolant in radiator, but they might not circulated?

Normally I riding through BKE without much traffic my temp went up to 1/4 only. The last few days doing the same thing but temp went up to 1/2. So I decide to flush out the old 1. Also, usually in PIE jam my temp went up to 1/2 only, but last few days it went up to 3/4. Today see whether got improvement or not.

 

Maybe your clutch plate chao ta. When my clutch plate chao ta, I have the same syndrome as you.

 

But this happen on my NSR, doesn't necessary apply onto CBR. Just do an oil change and see how was the oil like.

Just change my EO few weeks back.

yr qns posed was whether the reservoir is connected to radiator. answer is yes. but that answer doesn't quite address the issue of fast rising temp u r facing.

ucuc?

ucuc?

anybody remembers this primary school joke?

ok..im quite positive we come from different pri schs.

 

i thot the below is a good read for those into bike mods.

though the discussion started off on 2stroke bikes, i thot some principles apply for 4stroke bikes too. just like how i find it's easier to go beyond 7K rpm now after i cut part of my stock air filter element.

I see what u meant.

 

Actually my Q posted initially was not for the purpose of addressing the temp issue. Its just a Q out of curiousity. Anyway, thx for ur explaination.

actually that prompt one question. when u just start the engine, i.e. engine not in warm up condition yet, does the coolant pump start running already? or does it wait till it senses that the engine has reached optimum temp before the coolant pump starts running?

If this Q is for me, u hve asked the wrong person. LOL

 

I hve no idea on how the coolant system works at all.

[areal]

yes it does i think...

i saw the mech pour in new coolant, when the inlet near the radiator was full he turned on the engine (bike was pretty cold by then)

a few seconds later bubbles appeared while coolant drained inside..(then he pour sumore coolant la) -> thus indicating the coolant in circulation from the start.

 

 

edit: this is for david

 

i was just told by Ah pek (who stocks excellent eo btw!) the coolant circulation is separate from the radiator, the inlet to the radiator is regulated by the opening and closing of a wax-encased valve in the thermostat.

so at temperatures >100 the wax softens, allowing the valve to open.

the coolant is channeled through the radiator, where the fan generates a suction force to drag cooler ambient air through/past it, then coolant passes back into the bike.

hi, i hav a piece of cbr150 aftermarket air filter for sales. if interested pls refer to link below.

yo sis...juz wan to clarify...do the highlighted portions above contradict one another ah?

[areal]

hmm..looks like the info slightly incorrect or maybe i heard wrongly..

 

sorry, coolant constantly circulates throughout the entire bike.

the thermostat only controls the current flow and not coolant flow to the fan, expansion due to heat enables contact with the outercasing and forms a closed circuit which turns the fan on.

Coolant pump start to run when the engine is running .... the faster you go the coolant run faster... coz the pump and the engine speed is link tgt...:angel:

 

p.s this is what i think it mind be wrong

careful. some phd holders eventually suffer from Permanent Head Damage.

 

although some also went to Poly, then Halfway Dropout.

nope

i spot for factual errors rather than grammar/tenses/punctuation or wat not.

i leave these for zed
