It has been probably close to 2 months since I've had a chance to ride. Had a beautiful day in Colorado today and was planning going for a little ride when I noticed a small puddle under the right side of the bike. I looked at the right pod and there was a little bit of white build up along with some coolant. I already have an appointment to drop the bike off at the dealership tomorrow. Has anyone else had any issues with the radiators leaking fluid? | ||

My left pod leaked a while back--but it was operator induced. I loosened the clamp on the top hose and fatigued the clamp at the same time. I am not sure if they are a one use and replace item? Anyway, after reinstalling the old clamp, there was a slow leak. After fidgeting with the old clamp, I replaced with a traditional hose clamp (the kind you screw down) and no problems since. | ||

Thanks for the info Fresno ... maybe it is just a loose clamp. The only thing is that I have not touched any of the hoses or the clamps. | ||

I would guess probably not the clamp....have you opened up the pod to eyeball where the leak is? | ||

I have not ventured in taking off the pod and since I was taking the bike in today to have that recall kit put on, I figured would have them look into and fix the radiator leak. | ||

Helicon, just got back from the dealer for clutch diaphram replacement. Next morning noticed a quarter size puddle of coolant on garage floor that dripped from directly under the right front tip of the radiator. I dont know what will happen next???? | ||

Coolant leak: 09 cr, small drip from the right front tip of the radiator cover. Easy fix, the bottom hose on the overflow tank was completely pushed on the tube right up to the tank (was leaking like this), installed three small wire ties (small ones), pulled em up tight, now no leak! |
