Default Intro. and question

Hi all....First post and i'm glad I found this forum...

I recently painted my pastor's vulcan 800, and did a couple other customizings to it....I put it all back together and it's puking coolant out of the rear puke tube and for the life of me I can't figure out why...Any ideas ?

Thanks

If the coolant overflow is what you're talking about, It's most likely due to either air stuck in your cooling system, a bad radiator cap, or a stuck thermostat.

Hope it works out for you, and welcome to the family!

Well I just put about 15 miles on it, and took a flashlight. Every chance I got I was stopping to see if the fan was even coming on and it wasn't...But since I've gotten back it hasn't dripped once and it still has fluid.....Maybe it was on loose ? And i'm just a mook ?
