Re: Has your SVX ever left you stranded?

Not really stranded. My alternator semi-died and I didn't feel confident taking the SVX, so I rode the bike that day.

Once on the highway the car overheated. The thermostat cover had corroded badly and was leaking around the hose, and I'm guessing the coolant ran too low. shut down and coasted to a stop, filled the engine with several bottles of water and some water out of a ditch filtered through a microfiber towel. Started it up, burped the system, and drove the remaining 13 hours of my trip without incident.
