Recently had the bike serviced and MOT and all was working well
However this morning had a stunning slide on a roundabout, thought it was ice/diesel and carried on abeit slightly slower. However on return journey home noticed a black hose to the right of the petrol tank that I had never seen before. So got home and had a look, pipe was tucked under petrol tank and led to the coolant resevoir and was not attached to anything, im guessing its the overflow???.... looked at resevoir its' bone dry
no fluid there are all, unless you call the dregs at the bottom enough...
So what the hell is wrong with the bike... Have I cooked it? Split the radiator? (was stuck behind a gritter lorry yesterday for some time which was spitting grit at me) and any other options???... and best of all how the hell do I check!!!
Any advice except throw it in a hedge would be gratefully received....
