Cooling system issues...
Ok guys, help me out. Here's the deal. When I run my bike for a while some coolant goes into the overflow tank. The problem is when you shut the bike off and it cools down the coolant doesn't go back in the radiator. I have let the bike cool overnight and the coolant is still in the overflow tank. Then if you pull the radiator cap off you get a shhhh sound and the coolant is about an inch or two low in the radiator.
I'm pretty sure it isn't a head gasket. No water in the oil or oil in the water. No compression in the coolant.(i.e. no bubbles in the radiator when the engine is running.) It isn't burning any coolant. No white smoke and if I take the excess coolant out of the overflow tank and put it in the radiator it fills the radiator back full. So I'm not actually loosing any coolant...
I tried a couple of simple things.
New radiator cap... Same problem.
Any and I mean ANY ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
