Ok so I decided to give the beast a "quick"! clean.
After which I did the usual.....
Checked the oil.
Checked the wheels.
Checked the tyres/tyre pressures.
Checked the coolant level.......!!!!!!!!
CHECKED THE COOLANT LEVEL..!
The bloody bottle was empty! At first I thought "I'm not holding the bike up level...!
I was....!
Then I noticed that the cap/rubber stopper was NOT pushed onto the top securely and was just sat on the top being held in place by the rubber "straw" that goes down inside the bottle.
On closer inspection I find that the rubber "flange" that holds it nice and snug in place has perished and half hanging off...!
I'm quite concerned as to how the bottle is completely empty yet no warning lights have come on or that it doesn't overheat when I'm out thrashing the pants off it...?!?
(Side note)!
I only checked the oil and coolant on Sunday afternoon and all was as it should be..!
I will be straight up to see the dealership early doors tomorrow morning for
A- some new coolant put in the bike and
B- to put in a warranty claim for a new coolant bung/stopper...!
My advise is to have a good look at urs and make sure all is as it should be...
