NC coolant level for race bike

Post by The Dark Prince » Fri Aug 06, 2010 3:22 pm

Hi
New to this board, just purchased a NC30 fully race prepped for track day use. the coolant expansion bottle has been removed and a plastic overflow bottle (one way) has been added - this mean I have no idea if there is enough coolant in the rad when I look in through the cap.
Anyone got a rule of thumb bit of advise where the coolant should reach if the bike is cold.
Cheers

:plus:
I just fill my rad up till its just below the overflow pipe, run it and then empty any water from the overflow bottle.
An NC is for life, not just for Christmas!
