My wife's KLE has just started pouring water from the bottle overflow pipe when the bike has been ridden for about 30 to 40km. She noticed it when getting back from a ride to the shops.

I thought it may be a one-off thing, and topped up the bottle to the normal level. This morning she went for a ride, and came back with water jetting from the overflow again.

The overheat light didn't come on, so I don't think the bike got that hot, but this is something that has never happened before.

I'm thinking it could be a thermostat that has failed... what say you learned people..?
