Last outing at the track yesterday and mines starting to push out coolant. Was too tired to try to see from where but I'm not getting a good feeling since ive done a few track days on it in weather 30 degrees hotter with no issues. Will keep posted

Anyone have trouble with the TC saying it's off but its on?
I turn mine off and the light stays on indicating it's off, I go to try to clutch it up and the power gets cut.. I've tried turning it off from a stop and from rolling.

mines too old for that fancy stuff so i can't help you out

TC on a supermoto? Blasphemy!

so def coming out the overflow tube by the horn
already checked the fan, that works fine. Coolant only comes out under load. Overflow level stays full even though the radiator is emptying. Does not go back into radiator when cool. Guess i'll check the cap and hoses first.

really really hope it's not the same issue cg_ops had

Where does the extra 80+ lb weight come from??

Did you dig more into this?
I noticed I'll have some coolant coming out of the same hose but it's not consistent. Usually what causes it is a long ride, I'll stop for an hour or so then jump back on, ride some more and when I get off that's when I'll notice it.

tl:dr , haven't had a chance to really dig into it yet, mostly because the husky threaded radiator cap seems to be some one off b/s that i'm having trouble finding an adapter for to test

ordered a new cap in the mean time and haven't received it yet

update on the cooling situation

received my adapter and it's really nice. Heavy and finished well, not some flimsy POS, which is good because after tax and shipping this dang piece cost me $67 or something like that. The only snap on product I own haha, i see how people go broke being collectors. Anyways, for those that are in the market I found that matco also makes the exact same adapter with almost an identical part number.
"Snap on" part number is TAB10069 and "Matco" is MPT10069P . Bought it directly on "snap on's" page, probably a bit cheaper if you have a dealer near you but I didn't feel like waiting. Not sure what the list price is for the "matco" unit, i'd hope cheaper, but I wasn't able to find out price or purchase online with their website and I didn't feel like picking up the phone again.




The issue i ran into was with the actual pressure testing kit i bought through amazon (astro pneumatic 78585). The cap (piece that goes on top of the adapter i just bragged about) is really flimsy with the thinnest gasket imaginable and does a terrible job sealing. Slight rock side to side and it breaks the seal. If i make sure the caps completely flat it holds pretty good but still leaks down. Start at 1.4 and after two hours it's 1.1. I'm 99% sure it's the cheap cap and not the actual coolant system. Tried spraying soapy water on top of the cap with it under pressure but didn't see anything jump out at me.



So, i just purchased another radiator pressure tester ("otc" 6977, looks like "Matco" CSPTK but half the cost) that pressure tests through the hose instead of through the cap. Obviously this alleviates the need for purchasing an expensive adapter like I did and allows you to test the cap as well (which i'm still not able to do with the adapter and neither snap, matco, or anyone else I can find makes one). If you already have a nice pressure adapter in your tool set though the adapter i listed above will def do the job.

Also purchased another cap, which looks a tad different than the OEM one. Not sure if it's an updated part number or what but the bronze one is the one that came on the bike and the silver one is the new one.



Will update further if you guys want once i get the new tester. Thanks for letting me rant, hope it helps someone else in the future.
