Minitwin Cooling system modification - SV650.org

Does anyone know if under the Minitwin rules you are able to remove the expansion bottle?
I am unsure as to what the rules state for this as it only says about radiator and hoses.
Thanks

Yes, you can remove it.

On the side of your radiator you can tie wrap a small botle to it by working the tie wraps through the end of the fins and lead the expansion tube to the bottle.

Thanks, I was going to disconnect it completely and use it as my catch bottle.
I am going to keep an eye on the water level by just topping up the radiator.

That'll be my carp English. By "It", I was refering to the radiator.

Catch bottle /expansion tank what's the difference

I used a little hamster/rabbit water bottle from a pet shop, removed the steel pipe and ball bearing, and hey presto, instant 'HRC' race style bottle.

About £4 rather than £20 !

Sounds like I will be heading down to pets at home! I am just in the process of personalising my new purchase and get it back to Bemsee for its 2nd year and my first!
