My tri glide is continually pushing coolant out the overflow tube. I have tried burping the system 4 times but problem continues. What else can i try or any ideas what may cause it. Only 1100 miles. Thanks

Sounds like your water pump is shot. Common problem

Hi Randy, :welcome: to Trike Talk and your first post
Are you still covered under the 2 year warranty? If so talk to your dealer
You can run a test on your fans and water pump here
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=Verdana]Turn run switch to run (do not start bike)[/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=Verdana]Roll throttle to WOT position and hold until fans run, then roll back throttle to idle (takes a couple seconds for fans to come on after holding to WOT)[/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=Verdana]Both fans will run as well as water pump[/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=Verdana]To stop test, turn run switch to off[/FONT][/COLOR]

Randy..Welcome to Trike Talk..👍👍…
Just a shot in the dark here’ before you take it to the dealer make sure the radiator cap is locked all the way on the second indent it’s a common mistake you think it’s tight but it takes a lot of downward pressure to lock it ..
More pressure than you think should be necessary..

Bike has just 1100 miles on it. I might imagine it is still under warranty - take it back. Plus, have you done the 1000-mile checkup?
