[QUOTE="ossagp, post: 174599, member: 1650"] It is pretty cheap to build something to pressure test with and even cheaper to do as flake suggested while you are sitting around wondering what to do. my procedure for that is to adjust the way the bike is leaning to where a small level on the radiator input spout is showing it right at level, you can prop things under the wheels etc to get it right front to back and right to left. now fill it to where the water comes up to the ring where that snout connects to the radiator. just not enough to let the water go out the overflow. take the plug wire off or hold down on the kill switch and have someone kick it while you watch for bubbles. sometimes taking the plug out will show signs that you have coolant getting into the combustion chamber too, and that is almost always a head gasket causing that.
