RX1 Overheated

Indy, when you bleed it from the rear, do it a couple of times and make sure the rear is elevated sufficiently (to point where the bleed screw is higher than the coolant resevoir). When I bled mine, I put a pan under the bleed screw so that I could let it run for a bit and wouldn't waste all the coolant. When you get a good steady stream of coolant flowing out the bleed screw, put the screw back in, top off coolant resevoir, and then rev it up some. Let it cool for a bit and then unscrew the bleed screw and repeat this procedure a few times. I know some have bled their system elevating the front but I think the service manual calls for elevating the rear. This was the way I bled mine and I did this process at least three times to ensure there was no air in the system. No problems to-date. ;)!

Ps. Get that baby running and lets go riding :Rockon:
