Hello everyone,
So back in 2001 I bought a brand new Yamaha YZF600f bike. I love the thing, I just had some questions. First is, how can you be sure when new tires are in order? On my old Suzuki I rode it until it had barely any tread left. But on this one I still have tread. It currently has over 9K miles. Does the penny trick work for bikes too?
Second, I have been having a bit if an overheating issue. It heats up rather quickly, which didn't occur within the few first years. I recently had the cooling system flushed and new coolant put in. Does anyone have any clues? Could it be the Thermostat or another component? Today alone it reached almost to red line on the meter, and the fan kicked in at least twice.
Thanks!
JP
