question about rm 125

[norton]

I need to know why my 98 rm125 raiator coolant is squirtin from the ports and pushing the hoses off and only on the left radiator panel

[krt400ex]

wut ports? like exhaust ports?

maybe the cap u have on it too high a pressure, or ur overflow hose is clogged, because it shouldn't be pushing the hoses off...can u explain in a bit more detail?

[norton]

i mean where the hose meets the radiator and im gonna drain it but its probly more than that

[krt400ex]

i have no idea...


maybe the hoses r too big, and it is not clamping well?

when did it start to do this...anything done to it b4 hand?

Head gasket

[krt400ex]

why would u say that? ^^^^

[KH426]

Compression leaks past the head gasket and pressurizes the cooling system.Then gets out out at the weakest part ( 1998 radiator hoses and clamps )

[krt400ex]

makes sense, but i had a head gasket prob with my '86 rm and it never did that. it just burned all the coolant that leaked through the head, and boiled it out the overflow

[KH426]

depends on where the gasket blows. There are several different symptoms of a head gasket.

I agree with KHS426, it's pressurizing your system making it bleed off pressure at the weakest point.

hmm my 86 250 did that same thing, weird but yeah i dont see how thats possible the person i bought it from never noticed that problem, could it be a gas mixture problem? the gasket explains no power band when i run through gears

did the person you bought it from have xray vision and a crystal ball:p

[norton]

well i dont think his parents were superman and a gypsy but i think after riding it he would notice a problem like that

i think you missing the point thast a head gasket can let go at anytime, without warning. you have the symtom, seek a cure. no amount of chatting about it will get the fluids drained and head off to replace the gasket;)
