Hi all,
I've been seeing a slight coolant leak on my 08 r. When I rev high, coolant flows up and back from the right hand of the fairing, at the top, where the fairing meets the black trim panel (the horizontal one). I've had the fairing off and had a good look at the radiator cap and all those connections around there but it doesn't seem to be from there. It's hard to see where it IS coming from as when I rev the bike at a standstill there is no airflow to push the coolant out onto the fairing and I can't see where it's coming from at all. I haven't had the bike long and was wondering if there was any common fault like this? How easy is removing/refitting the tank? That may help me find it but don't want to find I need new o rings after I've got it off! The leak isn't much, just annoying. Bike temp at normal levels. Any help appreciated. Cheers, Jon
