I got to thinkin'.
I just installed my K&N filter extravaganza. Three for the throttle body, one for the crankcase, and one for the air temp sensor. They're all in their places with bright, shiny faces. I was also able to install the bearclaw without modification. I now have a big, empty airbox under the seat. I know that some folks use this empty space to relocate the cooling system expansion "bottle."
As I look at it on my '08 R3T, I notice that the stock location for the expansion jug is to have the bottom of the jug above the top of the radiator. I also remember every freshwater-cooled boat motor I had doing the same thing. If I relocate the expansion bottle into the empty airbox, won't the bottle overflow since the bottle would be below the top level of the rest of the cooling system?
Since I'm able to get the BC on without hassle, it's really just a question for curiosity's sake. It may, however, be good to relocate the bottle to improve airflow around the throttle bodies.
It's open season - take a shot.
