Losing Coolant, advice needed
« on: September 11, 2005, 01:49:25 PM »
I have an '04 with 'just shy' of 10K miles.  I've been losing coolant...but can't see where.  My bike is mostly stock; besides cosmetic mods, I have a K&N filter and bolt-ons installed.

I just got done pulling the plugs, they look fine; no white, crusty stuff on them.  Exhaust smells like exhaust, not sweet smelling...like coolant.  Oil looks normal, not 'cholocate milk' looking.  There are no visible leaks (oil and/or coolant) anywhere.

I started the bike cold and let it run until the fan came on (about 10 mins), coolant level in bottle raised 1 1/2" to 1 3/4"; no bubbles visible.

I wanna say head gasket, but what else could it be?

Thanks!
