Last time I rode it the biggest problem I had was getting the temp to raise so I could see if the temp was going to overheat or not. I suppose that's a good sign.

Didn't get a chance to flush again today, probably this friday, then again on saturday, and maybe one more time on sunday. I plan to flush till it's clear as suggested but a minimum of 3 times overall.

Okies, didn't remove the rad, just drained it and for now refilled with plain water. Took a bit for it to heat up so I could 'burp' it, damn near over heated and I have to shut it off for a couple of minutes. Finally it DID 'burp' and I added a cup of more water.

Rode it around for a bit, it rose to half, then dropped to 1/4 at worst. Didn't see any 'gel' coming out when I drained it, but the fluid wasn't new. Normally it looks neon, almost glow in the dark but this stuff was darker. Still green, but a dark cloudy green.

Ran the water today, gonna drain and refill again tomorrow, then run it some more. The third time I'll put fluid back in.

You be cray-cray in the bray-bray?

That sounds about right. It's the right year for that. I may go ahead and just pay the $60 for a flush and fill then. I just don't have the equipment for that otherwise.

I was planning on draining and refilling, but no idea if that would find any 'air pockets' or not.

That 'solar' scooter wasn't built that way, it's a factory electric scoot with the panels (folding, of course) attached. If I ever manage to get the money/time I plan to do something similar, but I want a faster bike than most electrics tend to be.

I read an article recently about the British 'bike' corps working in the Mid East. Quads, not bikes (despite the name) but that airborne cushman looks to be a ww2 version of the same thing. The paratroops need a way to get around after they hit the ground.
