Went for a ride yesterday in the hills above Laguna Beach and while going up a steep hill steam started pouring out of the right side of my '03 'Wing. I had left a trail of radiator fluid all the way up the hill. My fellow GWRRA buddies stopped to see what we could do and after a few minutes one of them went home to get his trailer. I called Totally Wings and they came to the house and trailered the bike back to the shop to start working on it. Today, Jack, from Totally Wings pulled off the belly pan and he said it was full of little aluminum parts. Tomorrow he's going to pull the gas tank out to see the rear of the engine and see what's going on. The bike started up fine to drive onto the trailer and the engine sounded completely normal so I'm really wondering what the heck happened. Jack's thinking maybe the housing around the thermostat area might have blown up. Whatever it is it sounds like it's going to be expensive. Anyone else have any experiences in this area???
