boiling

Hello guys! I'm new to this bike and i am just wondering if it is normal that they overheat/boil when they stand still for a while, while running. About 10-15 minutes of standing still and it starts to boil (came boiling water out the hose at the top of the radiator). haven't had a problem...

I finished about a 30K ride on open double track in about 28 degree weather and although the bike performed flawlessly when I stopped there was a distinct boiling sound that I have never heard before. There was no coolant coming out of the overflow, just a boiling sound. After about 5...

Hi guys! So yesterday I was riding in the woods in my area and I stopped on a hill top to take some pictures when I heard the water in the engine boiling. I wasnt riding hard or anything, just normal cruising. My question is can this be caused by fuel mixture? The wheater was around 29...

My FE 390 has always boiled gas and overheated; like my wife I knew what I was getting when I signed on. Two rides ago, I was over heating, boiling gas, and dribbling coolant out my weep hole 10 miles from nothing while trail blazing. In a hope to just get home I filled the radiator with water...

I thought you guys were crazy, talking about "boiling" fuel, that was until this past Friday! I'm sitting there at the top of this long rocky climb in North Carolina when I could hear it boiling to the point that I was tempted to throw in some pasta! With the cap off, it could be heard from 25...

Hi friends: My fe450 `09 has around 150 hours. My last 20 or so hours of riding, I´ve heard that that the water inside the radiators is constantly boiling. I don´t know if its a problem of the engine (which is heating too much for any reason, maybe soon to change piston and rings?) or it´s a...

We are into our first heat wave of the summer, last evening at 7pm, when we started our ride it was 32C (90F). The ride began with a half hour of tight 1st and 2nd gear single track trails. We took a break after this single track and I could hear my stock gas cap slowly letting off pressure...
