    As the title says folks...

    Noticed one of my bottles has got about 5mm of a clear fluid at the bottom of it. What is it exactly and is it ok?

    I'm guessing one bottle is for over flow of coolant if overheats?

    Can't understand why there is some in there though? Not sure on other bottle

    If thats a track bike, one is for coolant an the other one is for an oil. If the liquid is clear it is probably water, better check it to avoid problems in winter.

    just connected to your oil and water overflow pipes so if you binned it on the track the fluids will collect in the the two bottles instead of on the tarmac.
