Discovering this weekend that a knackered head gasket is definitely the cause of my overheating / oil consumption woes......
But which one?
......issa V4 innit....
Perhaps I'll just do 'em both - while I've got it all in bits. |

Coolant is quite slippery stuff and usually leaves white marks down the side of your bike when it dries. Chances are, its just a loose hose or similar. _________________ Its better to regret something you did rather than something you didnt do... |

Its not difficult to change yourself, problem is actually getting one in the first place though.
Rather unlucky getting a hole in a rad, perhaps you should stick a fender extender on. _________________ Its better to regret something you did rather than something you didnt do... |

Everybodys forgoten how to drive today!
