The DPO told me he just changed the coolant and the oil on the bike. I am having problems with the coolant overflowing out of the reservoir. I have two questions...one where is the pressure cap and two how to I properly change the coolant. It looks like this bike might be prone to getting air lock in the cooling system. Oh and one more thing. What type of coolant should I use in the bike? Anything special or any aluminum compatible stuff?

The cap is under the front gas tank cover. Remove the cover and it sits below. As for coolant the triumph shop should carry proper coolant.

I also have a 2000 s3. Had the same prob., Mine kept overheating, took it to the dealer and they did not fix it. Turned out the thermostat went bad, i replaced it, and voila.

I just use regular honda coolant.
