[QUOTE="sativadubs, post: 1261770, member: 84310"] [b]brand new bike overheating...whY?[/b] Hey guys, i just bought a 2006 ktm sxf that supposedly had a brand new motor, i put about 2 hours in on it my first ride, while i was breaking it in. It sat for over a month until this past weekend, i rode one good ride on it, noticed that coolant was leaking. We thought it was because the overflow tube was too short. Well, we put a little water in w/ the coolant due to being low, rode it back. I had anti freeze alll over my pants...the radiator was even smoking. Now, due to being a "brand new motor" what could be the cause of this? I've got several opinions from the guy i was with, which suggested my head gasket was blown...also informed me i had a leak in my exhaust, and the dealership sold me a beat down bike. I'm wondering if this could have been caused by me, and if it could be that head gasket is blown. Any advise/opinions would be greatly appreciated...THANKS [/QUOTE]
