Doesn't exactly fit for my application. (Ducati). The gasket needs to be slightly smaller. I was able to shove the peice in enough to seal the cap then I had to individually plug the overflow nipple. Not exactly ideal.

I'm a retired motorcycle technician. For many years I used the "Industry standard" Stant cooling system pressure testers with adapters for motorcycle radiators & caps. They were always difficult to get a good seal, the hoses & pumps were prone to leakage, & the adapters were bulky & hard to use on some motorcycles with restricted access. This setup works on almost all Japanese motorcycles, & many others. It seals up quickly & easily & gives a good test. No leakage from the tool. I've used it on 2 different motorcycles so far. Also comes with a manual that shows several ways to use the tool & how to interpret the results. It looks cheap, but works great.

Needed to pressure test the cooling system on a 2013 CBR1000rr for a coolant leak. Between the tight location & size of the cap none of my automotive pressure testers would work. Bought this tester with my fingers crossed it would work & IT DID. Now, one of the reviews mentioned it would not fit & it needed to come with thinner rubber seal/spacers on the adapter that goes onto the radiator itself. I ALMOST thought the same thing, but eventually found it was a just a tight fit and I had to sort of “walk” the adapter down onto the filler neck. Once it “popped” down it worked perfectly! All of the leaks I found were 10 year old hoses that had compressed with age and the clamps simply needed tightening, but it was reassuring to be able to test for leaks with both a cold & hot engine. My ONLY beef with the tester as a whole was the location of the pressure release valve. It seemed no matter where I laid the tester, with pressure on the system, the release lever would get bumped and let pressure out. Will I need it again? That remains to be seen 🤷

This coolant system pressure test kit is so important. Honda VFR 800 was losing coolant, thinking it was a blown head gasket. Prior to coolant issue, all hoses replaced Water Pump seal checked and replaced radiator cap with NEW OEM cap. Coolant system held pressure, however, NEW radiator cap failed to hold pressure ! Some seal manipulation to the radiator cap permitted the cap to pass the pressure test. Phew, no blown head gasket.

Good value for its money. Would work for DIY/garage like things. Used it to find out that my water pump seal is leaking at a high pressure condition. Minus one star for the absence of a storage box.

Fits and works flawlessly on 2011 Polaris Ranger 800 XP EPS. Recommend you check rad cap part number against this one (fits my 2011). Pistol is moulded plastic but is strong. Not sure what would happen if dropped especially in cold, but worked greatPolaris Rad cap part number 1240300

I bought this to test the radiator cap and radiator on my Suzuki Kingquad 750. My cap has been blowing antifreeze out after it warms up and I wanted to test the system to find out what's going on. I was a little uneasy when I opened the box and noticed this thing is made out of plastic. I hooked up the unit and began my tests without any problems. The instructions I thought were very well written. One of the first things it will tell you is to do multiple tests because you may get a bad test the first time because you don't get a good seal. It's sensitive so you have to play around with it to get it sealed right. Once you get a good seal then you're golden. Luckily for me, my cap and radiator is fine and just like it says on the box, I probably saved a few hundred dollars in diagnostic repairs. In the box you get two adapters (one for the radiator and one for the cap). This tool is very easy to use so don't be intimidated if you need to check your coolant system.
