Alright, ive been having overheating issues since i bought my 2000 cbr 600 f4 a couple months ago. When i first bought it, the bike would heat up almost all the way to the red on the temp. guage. I changed the oil and oil filter, put in a new thermostat, flushed my radiator and put in fresh honda motorcycle radiator fluid and wired the radiator fan to run all of the time and the bike is still heating up almost all the way to the red on the temp guage. I can feel the heat coming off of the bike too.
When i put fresh fluid in, it only took 1 3/4 quarts before it way full. I started the bike with the radiator cap off to get the air bubbles out but i still could not manage to get any more fluid in the bike. It says in the manual that it should take almost 3 quarts??? Can my hoses be clogged? When i flushed the radiator i opened the drain on the water pump and put a garden hose in the top of the radiator and flushed it with the bike running for about 5 minutes. if the water came out of the water pump with alot of pressure then that means that there cant be a clog, correct?? any help is appreciated.
