It was water-cooled and it sometimes leaked coolant and we replaced a cracked thermostat housing and the two long radiator hoses trying to fix it.<br><br>I finally think I fixed the problem once and for all once I realised that although the radiator cap had a pressure relief spring, there was nowhere for the pressure to be relieved to. I drilled a small hole in the top side of the coolant tank in between the radiator cap seal and the top of the tank.<br><br><a href="/blog/uploads/img1870_DCP_0001x.JPG" target="_blank"><img alt="Beta Eikon 150" src="/blog/thumb/img1870_DCP_0001x_sm.JPG" /></a> <a href="/blog/uploads/img1870_DCP_0003xx.JPG" target="_blank"><img alt="Beta Eikon 150" src="/blog/thumb/img1870_DCP_0003xx_sm.JPG" /></a> <a href="/blog/uploads/img1870_DCP_0004.JPG" target="_blank"><img alt="Beta Eikon 150" src="/blog/thumb/img1870_DCP_0004_sm.JPG" /></a> https://johna.motortraders.net/blog/1870/my-beta-eikon-150-scooter/#comments 2025-04-27T12:00:00+10:00 Beta Eikon Beta (Motorcycles) https://johna.motortraders.net/blog/uploads/img1870_scooter1.jpg https://johna.motortraders.net/blog/1870
