Posted March 12, 201312 yr ive had water in my bike because it wasn't cold for weeks but because of this weather it froze everywere in my bike theres no cracking on my engine but i suspect my water pump is destroyed ive put coolant in it now and ever since that day my bike temp will shoot up to red within minutes =/
March 12, 201312 yr Cracked head internaly,check you spark plug bet it clean like new.Also check the thermostat.
March 12, 201312 yr Author ive removed the thermostat weeks ago because it was rusted and broken and great looks like im goin to need a new top end =(
March 12, 201312 yr Author it was working fine without a thermostat in i just took a little longer to warm up now it just shoots to red as soon as i go down 1 road
March 12, 201312 yr Author going to do it tomorrow ive got work soon on night shifts got a week off starting tomorrow though ganna strip her down then
March 12, 201312 yr Try filling it up not running(coolant) then fire it up if it pisses it all out the over flow tube then internal crack.
March 12, 201312 yr Author i filled it up with coolant yesterday then started it all the coolants still in there non came out anywere
March 12, 201312 yr Moderator Still in there as in the cooling system or the engine in general. What is the gearbox oil like.
March 12, 201312 yr Author well when i flushed the engine i poured water through and had the bolt out so it went from the rad out the bottom of the pump fine so i put the bolt in and filled it with coolant and i will let you know about the oil tomorrow when i strip the bike
March 12, 201312 yr i filled it up with coolant yesterday then started it all the coolants still in there non came out anywere Then your lucky if the head was cracked it would be pressurizing the coolant system and blowing it out.
March 12, 201312 yr Author sweet, none has came out since i put it in yesterday still at the top of the rad i know something bad is wrong though the bike just vibrates loads
March 12, 201312 yr It will only come out with the bike running ,when the head gets hot enough for the crack to open,the plug will tell all if it's steam cleaned then cracked head.
March 14, 201312 yr Author plugs as dirty as it always is so no cracks yam dealers want 60 quid for it, i cant find any other ones online any ideas?
March 14, 201312 yr Any chance the Temperature Sensor could've got damaged by the freezing water?? Could be sending a dodgy signal?? Danny......
March 14, 201312 yr Author thats what i was thinking but the engine vibrates quite alot but when i feel the side on the barrel when its indicating its red not its still not hot to touch butthe outside casing is cracked on the water pump not a big one but its noticeable
March 14, 201312 yr Author ive taken the casing off and there's no cracking on the inside and the water pump spins when the bikes started so i have no idea what it could be
March 14, 201312 yr Moderator Sounds like the sender unit. The vibration is an unknown. The ice could have done all sorts of wierdness. You could have damaged the sleve or parts in ths sidecase. You can test the sender by taking it out and putting it in boiling water. That should show above normall temp but not in the red. She should be running 95 deg or therabouts.
March 14, 201312 yr Author so if its the sender unit my bikes not going to blow up? and its alright to ride?
