The overflow bottle on the RX3 is apparently not pressurized when the engine is warm. I cut the hose, inserted a plastic "T", put a bit of hose on the open tab, stuck a bolt in it. I drilled a hole in the coolant lid, glued in a plastic fitting to take the same size hose, stuck a plastic fitting in the other end, then a vacuum cap. Sits well in the custom fluids box between the left side pannier bracket and chain guard, but my bracket is widened to match the right side offset for the muffler.

Anywho, to top overflow, pull the bolt out of the tube behind the plastic, pull the cap off the fitting on the coolant bottle, plug overflow to coolant bottle, squeeze. Takes about 5 seconds.
