Hi, my dad has a 2003 Dakar and recently started givving problems with the radiator.
??? ??? ???
After riding, when the bike cools down, the pipes going to and from the radiator gets sucked flat.
We had the radiator cap etc checked by BMW and they found no problem so we went at it ourselves.
The bike does not get hot wile riding but you have to open the radiator cap so the pipes can get some air and go back to the normal round shape.
It only recently started to spill some water (boiling) when you stop and idle for a wile.
We then checked the radiator for leaks- nothing. Checked to see if it was glogged- not that either.
On refilling the radiator everything seems fine again, but now the temp warning light comes on after a couple of minutes ride.
The water reservoir is allso filled up corectly so it does not seem to lose water whilst riding.
Anyone had this problem before or any advice to what it might be and how it might be fixed, plaese!
