Oh heck! This is my first water cooled bike, one more thing to worry about.

Yep, just like drinking!

Great idea!
I shall watch this myself . . .

@1olbull ...and please no laughing. We all have to start at the bottom and learn how to do these things. Just a shame I didn't try a little earlier in life instead of waiting until I'm only 10 years off retirement..

Step 1. Put Bike on Dyno
Step 2. Start making noise
Step 3. Pop the Radiator Hose
Step 4. Wash the Dyno
Step 5. Go find a Mop

Good news, bike is ok.. Dyno is still a bit wet,

Step 6. Order new Silicon Hoses
Step 7. Refill Cooling Fluid
Step 8. Start again at step 1

What mileage did this happen at? Do you know if it's another common problem?

I have 37,000 on a 2015 but since we are planning on flushing the radiator seems to be a good time for a upgrade. The idea of being stuck on the side of the road soaked in radiator fluid is not my version of fun.

I was serious about wanting to learn as I have not done it before either.
"10 years off retirement" tis a heck of a lot better than being 26 years past retirement!!!
