I was riding home from work the other day (National Ride to Work Day) on the interstate when I heard something pop and all of a sudden antifreeze was spraying everywhere (including my pants and feet - another reason not to ride in shorts and sandals). I was maybe 5 or 10 miles from home and managed to make it home by watching the temp gauge carefully and turning it off at lights. I had to stop once or twice when it went into the red to let it cool down.
I've got it all apart and I'm trying to figure out where my problem is. Nothing is obvious ? the radiator hoses look okay and I can't see much else. I tried pouring distilled water into the radiator to see where it would come out. It didn't come out up front near the radiator like I expected, but back around the center stand. Any advice on what to do next? What is the most likely culprit of what went? I'm thinking i'll need to remove the air box to see what's going on under there. Thanks in advance.
