coolant level

madcow · 01-14-2009, 06:20 AM

can anyone tell me how high the coolant level should be in the bottle? mine has no marks on it to tell the level. i have noticed it also boiling back into the overflow after a hot ride, is this normal? as this is my first water cooled bike its all a bit new to me. thanks,mc.
