Just been for an evening run, stopped at some lights and noticed coolant pissing out of the right hand side hose where it joins the radiator.Rode home keeping an eye on the temperature and have just replaced the final two ****** clamps with jubilee clips.
It now seems to have stopped but needs topping up. never having to do this before do I top it up at the radiator or the expansion tank and whats the best thing to top it up with.
 
just spent waaaay to much on some samco hoses & stainless steel clips for mine - gonna be flushing out the water system with a flushing agent then refilling with some quality anti sludge coolant, cant remember what its called but will have a look in a bit & let you know

Hi mucker, ignore them self centred feckwhits, top yer coolant up fae the rad cap, the expansion thingy is wae below the top of the rad so unless loads of sooky is goin on ye'd be feckin tryin to fill it from the piss here bottle.

They're a bunch of feckwhits.

Aldo, glad you got us to the main point pal. Coincidentally just checked mind whilst washing it just now. No water in't coolant bottle on the right hand side of the bike. Bone dry marra (oh crap?), what should I do. Cheers in advance!
 
maybe ****** clamp leaked, not enough coolant, temp got too much, pressure built up resulting in more leakage.

you could try filling back up again and giving it a go

Cheers Swordy! Just checked the rad cap, looks like fluids up to the top! So will top up coolant bottle & see! Cheers.
