I had a bad head gasket and it did exactly this. It ran just fine but would almost instantly start dripping out of the overflow on a cold start up. Once it was warm, mine sealed so I only lost a little coolant at first. I thought it was the rad cap but it did nothing. I replaced the head gasket with a cometic and it was fixed.

Ran it all day again today..... runs fine..... except for the fact that my rear wheel just spins on this dusty hardpack and rocky s**t i'm riding on. Need a new place to ride. Already because of all the rocks, ive put a nice ding in my new pipe and took a good chunk out of the side of the scotts sharkfin. oh well it's just a dirtbike right. YEAH RIGHT. NEED A NEW PLACE TO RIDE!! I have put about 5 gal. of gas thru it so far no real issues. the suspension is the shiznit it's sooo nice and plush, but firm when needed! They really worked wonders for this bikes handling.
Nothing new to show really.... Doesnt look like anyones interested anymore anyway. :cry:

Not True!
I don't think there is much going on today account the long weekend.
Sorry to hear you got the bike dinged up a bit, it's just part of the territory I suppose...
Glad to hear it's running well!

Wonder how hard it would be to make a carbon fiber pipe guard? seems simple enough kinda want to try it

Eline makes them for the Pro Circuit and FMF pipes. $140 save some time I guess.
