[QUOTE="smerch69, post: 186603, member: 1617"] I took my bike out for the first ride today and theres still snow on the ground. Theres this nasty hill that I have to go up and its fairly steep and long so I hit it about 3rd tapped. I have a trail tech temp meter on my bike that monitors water temperature and before I went up the hill it read about 55C. Once I got to the top of the hill (thankfully) I noticed my temp was already at 72C. I haven't ridden with a temp meter before, so maybe this is normal. But when I got off my bike to just take a look at it I noticed some water drip on to my exhaust and bubble up. Seems like its coming right from the rad. Not the water pump weep hole or the over flow. So to the point, does plugging off your rad fittings and blowing into the rad with your mouth a good test to see if its leaking? Or is there another way? [/QUOTE]
