F4i Coolant Leak

Does anyone else's F4i leak alot of coolant while stunting? Im not sure if its during the wheelies or stoppies, but my bike leaks a shitload of coolant out. At first I thought it was the cap, but im on my second overflow cap and its still leaking. Is there an overflow tube that i need to cap off or something?

Re: F4i Coolant Leak

my boys did the same thing for a while never actually over heated just always kicked it out , he changed he fluid , sensor etc. never fixed anything , so he ended up just getting a diferent one and the new one doesnt do it , i was told it has something to do with the build up that radiators get with old fluid ( dried up inside ) and doesnt allow to fully let coolent run threw the whole radiator ! therefore spits out.

Re: F4i Coolant Leak

i just ignored it. soon the amount in your system is perfect & nothing is in the over flow.. it is a over flow tank, not a reserve..

You could alway try flushin your system, and then when you refill your fluid, don't put any in your over flow .
