im sorry guyz....im just stupid haha, tryin to learn something, thanks a TON if u guyz can help....

 

looking at the picture it looks like the puke bottle. What a puke bottle is is when your radiator gets to hot(boiling) the fluid needs to go somewhere so instead of bursting out of your radiator it goes into the bottle. So just fill it up with radiator fluid or water but also check your radiator to make sure it is full. The only stupid question is one that doent get an awnser so ask as many as you want you need to learn some how.

 

I wouldn't fill it with plain water. You need to use an antifreeze/coolant designed for use in aluminum engines/radiators. Mix it at least 50/50 with distilled water, NOT tap water. Check the level often the next few rides and add as needed.

 

Yes that's the reservior for the radiator. Have your parents take you to a local Wal-Mart, Shop-ko, Auto-Zone, etc. & look or ask for Ready To Use 50/50 anti-freeze. It comes in 1 gallon jugs, and cost about $6-$9 depending on where you buy it at.

Also, the only dumb question when you don't know...... is the one not asked.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
