Hey!

Bought this Honda CBR650R 2019 yesterday, and at the end of the ride home it made this boiling sound, any ideas of the issue?Boiling sound




Thanks in advance for any replies.

I'd be checking coolant levels and looking for leaks. Might be worth getting the coolant changed and the system inspected and/or pressure tested.

What's that white stuff on the front of the engine case?

I assume no warning lights come on otherwise you'd have mentioned it.

Yup, sounds like air in your cooling system. @Brammers is on point as usual.

Thanks for the reply

I think that white stuff is coolant leaking, its a lot more after todays ride, (ill cc a picture)

Also yea no warning lights, altough the engine temp is flashing on the last bar.

worth mentioning that the coolant levels dropped alot (almost empty) so there is definetly a leak. Altough only seams to leak when the engine gets hot.

Time to pull the fairing off and try to find the leak. Sounds like it's when the termostat lifts, sending water through the radiator.

A stone might have punctured it.

Advice: Don't ride the bike until this issue is resolved, or you might kill the engine.

Did you buy it from a dealer? If so, I'd be calling them and not touching the bike
