• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Coolant leak and TB replacement

My RTs in the shop right now for a TB replacement. When we got back from our last outing, I noticed the coolant level had dropped from the max line to the min line and there were a couple of drops just under what appeared to be the overflow tube. The next day is when I discovered the rough idle idle issues and a P1614 code, I checked and couldn't see anything wet, so I figured I'd just ask the dealer when I dropped it off. As I was backing it out of the driveway my wife noticed a wet spot under the bike, but other than the few hard starts to get the TB error to clear, the bike hadn't been moved.

Dealer just called and said the P1614 code I dropped off the bike for was not found, but the are changing the TB on good faith, and there was no leak in the coolant system either! First off, I thought codes were sticky and would remain on memory!? I'm glad the dealer is taking card of it. I'm assuming they are confident enough in what I described to know there's an issue, but why would the violent level drop, leak in my garage, but not show up otherwise? Could there be some crazy relationship between the two symptoms? I don't think I've ever had a coolant leak appear and disappear like this and not sure I want to be too far from home unless the mystery is solved. Anyone else have this experience?
 
Not likely related. Coolant out of the overflow tube is most often the fault of:

A. Cap not turned all the way to the second detent

B. Faulty coolant cap

If you did not show any sign of overheating on the gauge, you should suspect the cap.
 
Thanks, I'll have to give the cap a closers look when I get it back. I couldn’t think of how they could be related, but figured it was best to feel stupid than sorry :eek:
