Help, My Engine Is Puking Green!

Hi Everyone,

It seems as though my thermostat is toast (at least I am thinking it is)

My symptoms are as follows;
- For the last 2000KM of I've been getting really poor mileage in the range of > 7L/100KM, normal is about 5.2L/100KM.
- Engine has not been getting upto temp unless you are stuck in REALLY REALLY HEAVY TRAFFIC
- And last but not least today when I was warming the bike up in the driveway my bike started puking antifreeze everywhere even when the engine was only cool to the touch

Am I correct in guessing that my thermostat is toast? If so can anyone make any aftermarket recommendations versus putting another Honda thermostat in here just so that it can fail again in another 2000KM.

Thanks in advance,
YiKeS

Where was the antifreeze coming from?
Sounds like the thermostat is stuck but I don't think the leak should be a result of that...... :huh:

Antifreeze was coming from the overflow tube from what i could tell.
