Ditto.I think there is a fault in the temp sensing system and or the bike,"IS" overheating.I'd suspect a stuck or partially stuck thermostat for starters. Note:Most Honda/bike thermostats are stock parts and can be bought from local high street auto discount shops for way less than Honda/bike makers charge.Take thermostat into shop and ask(Don't tell them what it's for ;-) -- Free Windows/PC help, http://www.geocities.com/sheppola/trouble.html http://www.soundclick.com/bands/pagemusic.cfm?bandID=88558

Hi Phil, as the coolant heats up it expands a bit and pushes some out of the radiator into the coolant overflow tank. When the coolant cools down again, it contracts and the radiator slurps coolant back out of the overflow tank. -----sharks -- Du verschwendest �bertragungskapazit�ten.

IIRC the principle is that the boiling point is increased by virtue of the contents being under greater than normal atmospheric pressure. The pressure inside the cooker is controlled by a weighted cover on the outlet pipe. They still produce steam, but at a higher temp than the "normal" 100C.
