hopefully there is a leak somewhere, if not, could be head gasket :(

No no the failed course not. Lots of water on it this morning after a trip on the motorway was still the same amount of water. I wonder if it has been frozen so it's frozen or something. Those who I bought it from had not poured antifreeze in the water and it's stupid.

13.000 km

Can it be frost which is now at night

Now I am officially confused. Let's try this: how do you know you are losing coolant (the green or orange stuff)?

Hello Allan. I think the best thing to do would be to drain the fluid out of your scooter and replace it with the proper anti-freeze/coolant. Make sure you get the proper stuff, I believe it should be silicate-free. After you replace the fluid recheck it after a couple of miles and top it off. Hope that helps you. What part of the world are you in?

I am in Denmark and yes it is probably a good idea. I've got blue antifreeze but heg have been told that it must be Orange. It's a little confusing right now it has not lost any water

Some manufacturers use anti-freeze with silicate (fine sand particles} in it to keep the inside of the radiator clean. These same particles will eat the seals in a system that is not designed for it. Hope that helps.
