jsut a reminder, if you store your bike outside, (ie not heated) and you run straight water, or water wetter.... it freezes... dont make the mistake i did =/ hopefully it thaws soon and i can inspect if there is any real damage.

Sorry to hear about your misfortune Jay, hopefully it's not a pricey mistake. I'd like to ad also while were on the subject if your running straight water or even water wetter you should change it more then once during the summer.

Yea, last time i checked it was all good. But all these constant cold days are beginning to concern me so time to take action.

i started my bike up and let it run for about 10 minutes... nothing seemed to leak, and the temps didnt rise suddenly... havent pressure tested it yet tho. there was no puddle under it this morning either.. other than the pressure, what else should i check, and how should i check it. dont want to get to the track and find that my bike is grenading under me. id feel fine about it right now if not for the coolant that was under it when checked 2 days ago *shrug*
