    Cheers mate, someone else pointed this out... That's why we moved the meet to godstone so we could swerve that area altogether!

    OK guys.............the date is just around the corner so I need to sort my route and see what time the Alarm clock needs setting,so with this in mind can someone confirm meeting place and what time?. Is there anyone coming around the M25? (I,ll be hitting it from the A12 from Suffolk).

    UPDATE - I won't be making this ride out...

    Coolant is still pissing out the overflow when I shut the bike off after riding to work. How the hell is coolant overflowing from the reserve when the reserve looks pretty much empty??

    Service appointment is on the 2nd, and I am not going to ride the bike until I get this sorted out... Just have to get her home tonight, and park her up...

    GUTTED!!!

    Hope to make any other ride out planned after the service...

    Sorry to hear that mate, better than fucking the bike up though.
    Just a thought do bikes have thermostats like cars? Maybe that could be the issue?

    Bikes DO have thermostats... My understanding being it keeps the coolant in the engine until operating temps... then allows coolant to flow once operating temp is reached, so that cooling from the radiator will occur...

    Bike warms up as before, within same time, and has not gone over 108 degrees sitting at a traffic light (yet), and runs at 84 degrees when moving... Same as before...

    Just that when I shut off, coolant comes out the overflow... Today there was much burbling and bubbling sounds from the process of pissing overflow... Cuz the reserve is pretty much empty... Just gonna limp her home tonight... Let Honda sort that shit out, cuz I don't know how to fix this... No sense filling the reserve, cuz it will jsut piss out again...

    I figure it has to be an air lock somewhere in the system not allowing the reserve fluid to return into the engine... But that is a guess...

    Anyone think I should argue that this should be dealt with under warranty??? Only had the bike since March 2012... Used bike bought from dealer with extended warranty... And I have not touched the cooling system in all those months then all of a sudden this happens...

    I'm sure they will decide the cause is the one thing not covered under warranty
