To be honest its more likely to be alluminium corrosion. Get hold of a Ph testing kit and check the Ph of the coolant as it might be slightly acidic. Ph should be around 7 to be neutral. If acidic you will need to find a better coolant to suit the bike. Once done if proven to be acidic i would contact Ossa and give them an a*** kicking unless you have deviated from the recommended coolant and if so flush the system and replace with the recommeded coolant only. -
Any idea on cost if i was to have it done in a shop

Hi All, I have recently bought a second bike which is the rev 3 2003, On the 1st outing after about 1 hour the water pipe from the head to the top of the radiator exploded and split from top to bottom. I replaced the pipe and filled with fresh coolant and noticed the fan had come of its spindle which i then replaced and the bike seemed fine. I took it out yesterday and after about the same length of time i noticed what looked like strawberry milkshake coming out of the gearbox over-flow and the sight glass on the gearbox had turned from red to pink also the fan had come back off its spindle. I am far from being a motorbike mechanic but are very good with cars. Has anyone got any suggestions of what is causing over pressure in the water system which in turn i think has blown a water seal. This bike has recently had a new water pump casing as the other was corroded. The guy i bought it off has offered money towards the repair but if its possible to do it myself and save a few quid then so be it.
