help my coolant is leaking!

[jadehsu]

my gilera runner 180 is leaking coolant from its cap. i think alot of presure is in the coolant reservoiir causing the coolant to come out from my coolant cap. can somebody help me? usually it happens when i hit a bump on the road and shakes the bike causing coolant to suddenly burst out sipping hru my coolant cap?

is it filled above the max?

 

[jadehsu]

no its betwee min n max. why does it happen?

 

[Axl Rose.]

maybe the coolant cap is damaged/broken or something, so is doesn't function well anymore?...

i have that prob sometimes

Just tighten the cap real tight, Thats should stop it and if it does not get a new cap

 

[jadehsu]

i did got myself a new cap n it is the same, i was thinking the coolant reservoir screw thread is kinda damaged maybe, is it possible to get a new coolant reservoir?

This is a typical Runner failure.

yea a new coolant tank would prob fix it, But try find a rubber ring or someting to put inside the cap, Or maby a elastic band for a tempary job ,
