KC-10 FE · 05-26-2009, 08:42 AM

The Honda Maintenance Manual (not owner's manual) says .95 gals. I used about .8. After the first real ride today, it went from the upper line on the overflow bottle to about 1" above the lower. I am letting the bike cool completely before I open the radiator cap to check.

Out on the road, I couldn't get the temp over 170f. I was purposely leaving the bike in 2nd & revving around 7500-8500 to get the temp up. It wouldn't budge. When stopped waiting for lights, it wont top 180f. Engine Ice gets

from me.
