    Did you ever find the cause of the coolant hose collapsing?

    That should be easily fixable mark. Its a simple system. I think its a kinked small hose from the overflow tank to the radiator or the vent hose from the overdlow tank is blocked or kinked.

    Maybe you can ask them for a cut, the slip says 1.15 hours to fix.

    My guess was the radiator cap, at the trackday, I removed it (then noticed it was low on coolant) and spun all the springs and seals, put it back on and it was fine for a couple days.

    A friend of mine that bought a factory felt the same way for a while. Always was a huge GSXR1k guy bought it cause he liked the look at sound of mine. Two years later he is still riding it and every time he gets off it he is smiling from ear to Ear. The bike is addict ing. It's power and feel is like nothing else and after a while its hard to think of being on something else.
