Coolant GONE.

[retread]

Went for a ride today, hot & humid, like riding in a sauna. Temp gauge went from 1 to 6 bars in a block. Back to the house...catch tank is empty, coolant dripping on floor. Hopefully can patch tank tomorrow, got to pressure test to find the leak. Heading to MI Friday for a charity ryde. I hope.

Sounds like another coolant tank bit the dust.

Sounds like another spare part I need to order.....

You know... Pretty soon we are all going to be dragging around trailers with us full of spares!

Our RS overheated as we were boarding the ferry to cross Lake Michigan last Friday. The problem was a bad relay kept the fan from going on. This is PE #238 and according to an engineer from BRP they used dielectric (sp?) grease on something that when hot is wicking into the relays and causing them to short. He said this only happens on the really early bikes #600 or less.

John...where's the charity ride you're doing in Michigan this weekend? Larry

Starts just outside of Clarkston, Saturday, breakfast at 8, probably start the ride around 9. I'm working from memory here, PM me if you're interested, there are going to be some other things going on, too.
I may not be able to ride in it, the coolant tank is split, and unless one from a SeaDoo will fit, my Spyder is staying home.
