I can't see my coolant level through that little hole inside the pod. I don't want to have to take my lower fairings off, to get my pod off, to check my coolant level. Aren't some of you running remote reservoirs up front somewhere? How did y'all connect those, and where did you get the parts?

maybe you do something like this:



anyway: why is it important to know how the coolant level is?

it's basically always right. and if not, you'll find out very quick.

Apart from being delivered slightly low from it's PDI my 1125 has never varied on it's level in over 15000 miles ....oil is the same it has never varied between oil changes. Still worth checking on occasion though and like you say the inspection hole is about useless.

I'm a bit ocd. At my last track day, I noticed my water pump had a weep stain. My motor was running a little hotter than normal, also. The racers have a container up front, but maybe that is just some sort of overflow containment. I should probably just replace my water pump and forget about it.
