And the next problem is ?

[z1000]

Well thought i had the car sorted after new coil packs but took it out this morning and the temp gauge shot right up but the steadied out at half mast as usual.

Was changing th oil this afternoon and thought i'd better check the water and it was dry as a camels crotch so where's it went ?

Oil had no signs of contamination and nothing noticable coming out the exhaust so could it be a case of just not keeping it topped up or something worse ?

Looks like its had a rad fairly recentley but cant see any leaks, are there any particular bits that are prone to leaking ?

Aye, the head gaskets!!

I blame you for saying there'd be something else LOL

Z1000 - Id look at changing the head gaskets M8! - fill up the rad and then put an empty 300ml water bottle in front of the battery and stick the overflow tube from the coolant reservoir (yellow capped plastic tube in front of the battery)  into the bottle. go for a blast (ON BOOST).............no fluid in bottle - head gaskets OK....................water bottle has fluid in it - HEAD GASKETS GONE!!!

GOOD LUCK!

Bit of a tangent here

What if the Camel had spotted a sexy female camel and was now moist with the anticipation of some camel action

Not looking good [] did as wuz said and bottle was dry but could here it gurgling away so put a towel over the tank and ever so slowly loosened the cap, shit loads of pressure and still havent taken it right off.

Also noticed when the water comes out the top it runs down the side of the engine and onto the coil packs. Could this have had something to do with the miss i had a 5000rpm ? as it did it again just as i was about home.

Next step wheres the best place for gaskets and what nightmares lie ahead in the fitting of them ?

[:'(] Do i need the heads skimmed on anything or just whack on a couple of new gaskets ?
