I filled up my radiator before riding the other day and after riding for about 45 mi nutes i smelled antifreeze it was coming out of the overflow but it never overheated. I know some guys said theirs was doing that but they also said theirs was overheating when it did it. Whats the easiest way to check for a blown head gaskett so i can check it before the 2 hour ride back to the dealer.

When it is cool enough remove the cap and start it up.If you see bubbles you have a problem.It should be a full radiator to use this method.

Will be a good idea to check the radiator cap if there are no bubbles or compression on the radiator with the engine running.

their was no bubbles with the engine running i even took it for a ride and checked before it got hot still no bubbles. but it is still spitting fluid out the overflow how do i tell if the cap is bad
