Having the GTS less than 2 months, I'm still trying to get use to its little quirks. I just noticed yesterday that the water temp light isn't working...right about the time I noticed this strong smell of radiator fluid. It smelled like it was overheating, and I had only made a 5 minute ride to Taco Bell. Two hours later, the cap was still pretty hot, and I wasn't in a hurry to crack it open. Today I did, only to find that the water is full. The plastic overflow res seemed to be empty. But why would that smell overheated? And does the res take pure coolant or a mix? Ideas?
And is there an easy way to get to that dummy light? I do have a thick manual, but I haven't found it very helpful on matters yet. Any advice is appreciated. -- --Doug Kirk --1993 Yamaha GTS 1000 --http://www.ladj.com/gts/ --Southern California --
