The most immediate problem is the bike overheating.
I filled the plastic overflow thingy over the weekend, after the bike's overheating light came on.
Today, that thing was empty again, but so was the radiator.
(Fook did it take me a long time to find that radiator cap! Do you really have to take the petrol tank off to check the fluid level in there? And you cannot get to either the radiator cap or the overflow bottle without tools - how weird.)
My first thought is that the thermostat might be fubar. So the question is, where do I find one of those? And the gaskets?
Also, I don't know this bike at all, is there anything else I should be looking at?
After riding the bike, it tends to dump out some coolant, but I am battling to find out where exactly the coolant is coming from, from the overflow or somewhere else.
Any help would be appreciated.
