Hi again,
I have fitted new seals to the pump using motoworks prototype tool (more on that later!). I refitted the pump using 3 bond and refilled the rad with coolant (slowly and squeezing pipes to help remove air). Filled the the reservoir to max. Now the temp gauge is very jumpy and the fan kicks in just after the blue marks which is a lot earlier the it use to?. I have run the bike at idle it and from cold it takes about 15mins then the fan kicks in (as above on the gauge). I don`t appear to have any leeks (left over night) I have pressure in the rad pipes. Has anyone had this? could it be a sticky thermostat? (it did sit about 2 weeks with any fluids in it) could the gauge be faulty? or do I still have air in the system?
I ran the bike without the rad cap on and as the coolant rose I put the cap back on, Their was a slight change in the level on the reservoir?
Any suggestions? thanks in advance K.
