Got fluid coming out from the right-side pod. Nothing at the radiator cap, so I am assuming it is coming from the hose underneath. Newer interstate owner, I have never removed the pods before. Can someone give me a quick how to get the pod off?

    only 3 of those allen heads hold it on. in the very front of the pod-and that IS the LONGEST one REMEMBER WHERE it goes. directly on top and sort of 2/3 of the way down towards the bottom. find the pod on a parts fiche for the Honda Interstate. RIDE SAFE.

Three mount screws (and I think a sidecover-like push pin), the others don't get removed or you are taking it apart unnecessarily.





Many times, a bike laid up for winter will leak a bit of fluid through the hose clamp, until ridden and hose heated up and soaked down, and then not leak again (that season).

If you are on the right side of the bike, remove the 3 screws like mentioned above, with your left hand pull on the back of the pod straight out to remove the boss from the grommet, then with the same hand lift up on the back of the pod to get it up and over the mount. Once its up and over that mount it should come straight off.
