Expansion Tank

[britishbulldog]

Does anyone know if the radiator expansion tank has some a drain hole or some type of overflow hole. I topped up my radiator and expansion tank and noticed water dripping from underneath my rear tail section. It was dripping quite excessivelt at first but began to slow.

Any suggestions

Yup, there is an overflow. I had the same worry, until I realised if you overfill, you'll have a dribble for a day or so until the coolant reaches the required level. The guy I bought my bike from nicknamed it Merlin, because the Merlin Aircraft engines always leaked coolant!

Thanks for that. Load off my mind.

I was told by my mechanic NOT to put any water in the expansion tank. Just to fill the radiator AT the radiator.
