Noticed a small amount of anti freeze under left head on floor.
Two test rides since, no sign of anymore. Anybody ? WTF ?

Check the drain plug on the bottom of the water pump housing.Look for a small drip on the floor under the plug. There is a special crush washer on that plug that can go bad . It can also be intermittant depending on temp.

It could also be the lower end of the upper radiator. These hose clamps are known to leak. Clamp may need a little tightening. My bike will drop a couple of drops if it is parked too long say a week or two, I think mine is the water pump seal. After starting and running the leak disappears.

Mo, That's what mine did. Lower clamp was the culprit. Let's ride.

Mine used to puddle anti freeze intermittently also. It seems to drip worse the colder it was. After I tightened to clamps to the bottom hose it hasn't leaked since. Just wait for a cold cold morning and you can trace it. |
