I dont post much normally just read and do searches for insight. Last yr around june my vmax started seriously over heating. It has always been on the verge in the summer heat. I couldnt keep coolant in it, me being worst case scenario all the time I thought head gasket, after all 40k and not the greatest tune and a friend of mine borrowed it that flogs things pretty hard. I parked it and bought a 05 FJR1300 for the summer, lol. Anyhow I put a parts store generic import radiator cap on it fired it up let the fan cycle on an off, no more coolant puking out of the tank. I feel so stupid, was planning on tearing it down soon. I should have done a leak down test on cooling sys, last year would have saved buying a new bike. :bang head:
