any suggestion?
Welcome to the forum Malon, and thanks for the input re coolantFWIW, looking at the previous post about waterless coolant as a suggestion. I’d agree, I tried it in my turbo Hayabusa that was always running hot. I added a higher pressure rad cap and Samco hoses. It helped very well. Not cheap but £10k in engine work alone made the price of the coolant cheap in comparison

Hi all.
Louie here from Sevenoaks, Kent.
I've recently replaced my "broken" red '98 carb 'Bird with a 2001 Silver Fi model. Would have preferred red again, but just had to grab what was available. I guess we all know that red ones are best.
The new one is pretty standard. It has risers (of course! I am 57 after all....) custom seat, gear indicator, Scottoiler, heated grips and Givi rack.
Probably should add some better crash bungs in case we slide down the road again! I don't think the tiny ones on it would be much help at all.
And I've even managed to convince the thieving bastards at TFL that it DOES meet the emission standards for the London ULEZ. Took a while, but we got there in the end.
I'm currently riding like an old fart as the result of picking up 9 points for speeding in two months, so not quite as much fun as before. But still manage to odd mad moment when I know I have a clear road!!
