Don't have to take any thing off that way or remove the overflow bottle cap.
Spud my RX3 has 4500 miles on it and the coolant has gone down a little when out on long rides. I carry a bottle of coolant with me but now I am confident its not needed as the coolant takes a lot of miles before it gets very far down in the overflow bottle. I'll try it out this coming week at the Sound Rider Rally in the Gorge .rj
Thanks for posting the good information, George. Based upon the replies of Huck and NoVa, I'm pretty sure my coolant overflow bottle and cap are damaged. I'm hoping a new cap and bottle will fix the problem.
