Coolant / temp. light comes on and over flow leaks coolant on my 2009 V Star 1300

SOURCE: bike keeps over heating and leaking coolant from

THERE IS A PLASTIC GEAR IN RT SIDE COVER HOOKED UP TO WATER PUMP IT IS WORN OUT REPLACE IT

SOURCE: Coolant Leak

There was nothing about having a leak and then not happening again after 5,000 miles of riding. If I remember, only something about it's normal and goes away when the seal around the water pump expands, but since my ride has over 5,000 miles I would imagine it wouldn't be pertaining to my situation. Make sure your rad does not have a small hole that spits coolant when under preasure/high temp.

SOURCE: Flushing Radiator and Replacing Coolant

yes you do
do this with the radiator cap off and keep adding till it is full after the thermostat opens let it burp all of the air out and keep topping off the radiator till the whole system is full

SOURCE: Constantly leaks coolant. I have to refill at least once a week.

cooling fan working ?

SOURCE: my YZF 426 2002 model has been rebuilt twice but

sounds like the raditor could be blocked or the pump is spinning to fast install bigger radiator pipes also fill it with coolant completely to the lid and also bleed the air out off system get back to me if need any more help or you have done this
