Hi!
I have a small leak, probably cooling water.
As you see there are drops of water on the black steel bar, and as you see it is not coming from the hoses that looks dry.
I have unscrewed the one, special bolt in the timing belt cover and added liquid seal, but so far no luck. ( I did that yesterday, and have not riden after that, meaning the engine hasnt been warm and dried up )

But, if it is not the hoses and not that bolt seal,what is it then?
Any idea?

I have had it for about 6 month, when the bike mostly have been stored. So far the leak is so small I have not had to add anything to the reservoir..

its probably the top clamp, the hose attached to the thermostat housing. look with a flashlight on the left side dof the bike between the the fram and the front of the carbs.  I bet you see "wet" on the thermostat housing.  You can lean the radiator forward a tad to gain access to that hose clam.  very common

Right on the spot!!!

I grabbed my lamp and took a peek... and found the leak from  that particular hose/ clamp!

Thanks a lot!
