Hi folks. I very recently bought an '07 SC50 with a tiny coolant leak from the jacket. That's all fixed now, but while testing (with the fairing off) I noticed the coolant bottle (standard part, standard location) starting to melt due to its close proximity to the headers. I'm wondering whether there should be a heat shield between it and the headers, or whether some other anomally is causing it. I did have the idle turned up to about 2K and ran it until it reached ~100C on the gauge. Perhaps the high idle with no airflow was enough to do it. Comments/info would be very welcome. Thanks, Mike
