    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...

    Rocket 3 Roadster Possibly Overheating?

    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...

    Rocket 3 Roadster Possibly Overheating?

    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...

    I’m gonna call you professor! lol believe it or not I appreciate the explanation truly. Wish I had this additional knowledge growing up. Instead I’m all computers and video which I love ❤️

    Most rad caps are vented, no?

    Rocket 3 Roadster Possibly Overheating?

    I wasn’t able to find the the caps you mentioned @atomsplitter , but I believe I found a near exact replacement for the Rad Cap. I was wondering if this is acceptable but most of all, safe. Here’s the product link...

    Rocket 3 Roadster Possibly Overheating?

    So…it is ok to put distilled water in my radiator for now? Is what I’m gathering lol Since I have coolant in the radiator already and I’m just trying to tap it off and get out any air from the bleed bolt, I’m good to go then. So, I’m just waiting for my new radiator cap.

    Rocket 3 Roadster Possibly Overheating?

    So, I ordered two bottles of coolant, so that by next year I can do the oil and the coolant myself. Bike has fresh oil from the service but this is the last year that I go to the dealer to do it. Unfortunately, the coolant won't get here until next week, but I heard in some situations that it's...

    Rocket 3 Roadster Possibly Overheating?

    Haha no! Although they offered to do the labor for free if I bought it in, after I caught them lying saying that they “burped it” but if they did, they would have saw that the Rad Cap was leaking Saturday. They never use to be this way, it’s sad. I told them that I would rather do it myself...

    Copy brotha, appreciate you! Once I have everything I need I’ll let anyone know how it goes, but I already see this being a no brainer. Thanks for the support!
