    2012 TE 511 Overheating

    I have a 2012 TE 511, good bike but it has developed a habit of venting out the radiator overflow. It always did but the frequency has increased. Pretty much have to fill the rad every ride, I'm pretty concerned about damaging the engine so I'm limiting myself to an hour rides then topping up the rad.

    The rubber seal in the rad cap is beat to crap, I suspect it is from the thing opening and closing all the time, this is the most likely reason the venting has increased. I've ordered a new cap but am wondering it anyone else has experienced this and what they did about it. Thinking about using the Motul motocool, anyone have experience with this product?

    Thanks for any constructive comments.
