Leaking coolant.

harleys must be total POSs cause you can't throw a cat without hitting one for sale with less than 10k on it.

Spoke with the guy from the place I bought the bike from this morning. He said that they took the bike out again to see if it was throwing any codes or overheating and the guy took the computer with him ( I'm not sure what that means ). He said when the guy did come back it was leaking a little bit but nothing compared to what I experienced. I told him to check the radiator cap to see if it was holding pressure and he agreed that he would have his guys check. He just called me back and said they are delivering the bike back to me today and they tested the radiator cap and it wasn't holding pressure so they replaced it with a new one. I guess only time will tell if this was the cause of the problem.

I was joking, Why would they warranty something that is working? All you can is ride it and see if it does it again. Hopefully if it does and even outside of the 500km, you can say I brought it to you and didn't fix. Hope for the best that it is fixed, and second they honor that.

If the pump is working, and the cap is good, and still overheating, spewing coolant, it is likely that the pressurized coolant system has some air bubbles in it. This is something I learned the hard way.
Here's a video on how to take care of that...and it is a very specific methodology to get all the air out of the system.
btw, many miss it in the manual, coolant should be replaced every 30K miles.
