Ahem... still waiting...

So I finally pulled some plastic off to get to the rad cap today...
:...I added about 2 cups of anti-freeze to the rad and topped up the reserve tank. I took the bike out for a run on the highway then some stop and go around town. I also put a new rad cap on. Everything seemed to work fine. The bike didn't heat up and the fan cycled properly. Judging by the amount of coolant I've had to add I,m sure I have a leak somewhere.
Anyways...thanks to this forum I have found a local STwhisperer
. I'm off Monday to drop the bike off and have the entire cooling system gone over, new timing belt, valves checked and a bunch of other odds and ends done.
Once again I'd like to thank everybody for the posts, offers to help and the local contacts with other members. I'll post an update after we find out where the leak is.
