Most of the clamps are click clamps which cannot be tightened. Take it off and put a jubilee clip on in it's place.
 
Thanks for that any idea on how to remove the snap clip without damaging the hose!!!!! Do you just compress it with pliers????
 
Most of the time I undo the OEM click clamps by pressing/sliding one half of the locking part sideways.
 
AF1 sells a nice stainless set, or check the partsbook for diameters & replace them all.
Keep an eye on the fuel line clamp at the throttle body as it can leak too.
 
I think I have the same problem, a leak around where the rubber/plastic hose joins the tube coming off the radiator, in the right hand (as sitting on it) air scoop on an '07. TBH, I'm not riding it and it was too bastard cold to think about taking it to bits to see if there was anything more serious, but if it's just a case of jubilee clip heaven then sorted :)
 
Sounds like the same one it all seems tight cant understand why its leaking unless the pipe gonna bit hard!
