I put my 2004 fjr in for service last fall (14000 miles on it) which included a coolant replacement. When I left the dealers, the bike began to overheat within about 3 miles. I continued home and took the fairing off the nex day and found that the overflow tank was empty. Called the service guy and he said that he had filled the radiator once, then ran the bike, but forgot to top off the overflow tank. I picked up a quart of coolant and put it in till the tank came up to normal levels.
Still when I ride the bike, it hits 4 bars on the gauge within a couple of miles and the fans run almost constant. Was gonna take it back to dealer here in Richmond but they have gone out of business.
Before I bother with taking it to another dealer, any thoughts out there? Is this sound more like a thermostat problem now?
