One Ball 1971 Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Hi all,My mate has a GSXR K2. He has said that he can ride it for about 30 mins and then then coolant is being blown out the overflow pipe. He then obviously has to top up the coolant again before he rides it.I'm no expert but I'm guessing along the lines of either thermostat or head gasket?What you guys think?

iangaryprice Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Your thinking along the right lines. 1. There is an engine problen causing it to get hot (i.e. Head gasket failed is a likley cause)2. The coolant system has a problem preventing it keeping the engine cool (leak, thermostat, faulty rad cap)If the head gasket has failed there will be combustion gases in the coolant, a garage can do a "sniff" test for this and quickly tell if the gasket has failed.
