Evening all.
Had a big journey planned for this evening. But my 899 cinq is now over heating.
A couple of weeks a go it had its engine changed as there was a problem with one of the cam shaft followers.
Been running it with water for coolant since just for a shake-down. And it was running good.
So for the big stint tonight i decided to put proper 50/50 coolant in but now its just started over heating on a run of about a mile to the local blockbuster to drop off a dvd.
When i changed the coolant i bled the system as i have many times beforel.
The cooling fan cuts in for 30 or so seconds every now and then but isnt on excessively.
All the pipes and raidator get hot.
The warning light seems to get brighter, is it a thermistor so the resitance decreases with the temperature?
I was thinking maybe the water has corroded it lowering the resistance?
Cheers for the help.
