    Rocket 3 Roadster Possibly Overheating?

    Good news everyone! I actually did it, as simple as it is, everything that has happened, happened for a reason, this whole process has made me more confident with my bike as a “junior mechanic”. What I like about this community is everyone’s eager to help, very much like in NYC when someone...

    Rocket 3 Roadster Possibly Overheating?

    Hey @R-III-R Turbo , I sent a private message because I didn’t wanna keep bothering people on this thread, but I’ll just say briefly here since I don’t think you got it: You mentioned flipping over the expansion tank or just unclipping the hose that goes to the radiator. Is unclipping the hose...

    Rocket 3 Roadster Possibly Overheating?

    I don’t believe that’s necessary at this point I think we’re at good standing and I just need to do what we talked about after the bike cools down!

    Rocket 3 Roadster Possibly Overheating?

    No I didn’t turn it upside down, but since I’m more comfortable with operating on my bike now, I can turn it upside down, I believe it’s just a bolt I need to undo. I was just nervous to unscrew more things 😂 But so far things have been pretty straight forward. But yes, after having it cool...

    Rocket 3 Roadster Possibly Overheating?

    Copy that. I guess my main question is, what is a normal riding temp with the rocket on average? Is there a certain number that one should aim for?

    Rocket 3 Roadster Possibly Overheating?

    UPDATE: So the Radiator cap (OEM) finally came! Before let’s recap: As I stated before, when taking off the cap a few days ago (bike had been off for like a couple of days at this point), coolant starting spilling out, I also loosened the bleed bolt during that time and fluid starting spilling...

    It's so funny isn't it, that a $10-$35 dollar part can just **** up a beast of a machine? It kinda reminds me of the story with the lion that has a nail on its paw, and needs the help of a mouse to remove it.

    Rocket 3 Roadster Possibly Overheating?

    Sounds very familiar yes. So the gist is that the system needs pressure to work, but with a leaking cap, pressure cant build up...i think

    Rocket 3 Roadster Possibly Overheating?

    No worries at all I spent more money buying lotto tickets in the past haha! Also, you’re not boring me with the science, you actually explained it earlier by saying that if it’s not a pressurized system, then the coolant will boil a lot earlier than it should or something like that right? And a...

    Rocket 3 Roadster Possibly Overheating?

    Interesting news, the radiator cap from Amazon came today so I got straight to work, but it was the wrong cap. However, I didn’t know that going in so when I went to fix the coolant issue, I discovered some very interesting things that I thought maybe everyone should know. 1) first thing I did...

    I plan on updating everyone and I’m excited to fix this issue. And yes, three caps was overkill 😂 When be the caps get here by Saturday, I’ll be fixing her Sunday!

    Rocket 3 Roadster Possibly Overheating?

    Trust me, I plan to update. Thanks for checking back! My torque wrench and the correct bolts was delivered, as well as the proper coolant coolant so I don’t need distilled water anymore. All I’m waiting for is the god**** pressure cap to arrive lol I ordered the one from Amazon that you sent...

    Rocket 3 Roadster Possibly Overheating?

    I’m someone who wants to learn everything even though I may not understand it right away lol I’m more of a hands-on person so being hands-on with my bike is definitely helping me to learn faster. If I had someone like you in New York, I would literally take my whole bike apart just to put it...
