    Default 2021 tri glide

    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

    Hi Randy, 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

    Turn run switch to run (do not start bike)

    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)

    Both fans will run as well as water pump

    To stop test, turn run switch to off

    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?
