Over heating

Yup, my 2016, when still "new" started puking coolant out, after I had parked it at my dealer, on a Saturday free food day. Someone came into the show room, and asked who owned the Rocket in the parking lot, that was pissing coolant. In a matter of seconds, a mechanic grabbed a cap off a Rocket on the show room floor and went out and put it on my bike. Never a problem since.

The puking coolant thing can be negated a little too by dropping the fan switch to 95°C or maybe even 90, though 90 feels wrong somehow. I can't explain why it feels wrong - it just does.

Interestingly KTM make two types of cap (not referring to pressures here) - The sort of weird round one we have on the R3 and the more standard looking cap that Rob found. The more standard one looks better engineered imo.
