Ho Hum.....2

Remarkably similar to Paul's post......

Took 888 for a run yesterday and engine was running a dream until I was making my way back through town to go home. Looked down and steam coming from left hand side of bike......coolant everywhere.

Is this normal when bike gets hot......thought there was an expansion tank to counter this?

Let bike cool down for a few hours and tried running bike again. Let the bike warm up for quite a while in garage until the expansion tank was full of coolant and then fluid started to come out of valve on cap.........I assume this is normal???

Second problem.........oil filler cap.
Again when bike is hot oil leaks (sorry.....seeps) past the cap. Hot oil dripping onto roasting exhaust = not nice burning smell.
Just been and got a new o-ring for cap to try and solve problem. Anyone else have bother with this????

Cheers Alan...
