HELP !!!
I got to work today and heard a hissing after I got parked. There's coolant dripping from the top right (throttle) side of the radiator. Not alot but I couldn't look at it them as the bike was pretty hot. Any ideas on what could be leaking? hose hopefully ?
I've had this baby for about 4 months and been riding prety much everyday.
The radiator caps are made for a certainly lb pressure and they can go bad, might give that a look and see.
The radiator cap is on the left side on my '86, leak is on the right.
Do you have any hoses on the right side that could be leaking? I'd start with the hoses because who knows the last time they were replace. You might have a crack in one some where.
If it's the radiator you might be able to get it fixed an old fashioned radiator shop. I had the heater core in my old chevy truck fixed once. It sure beat trying to find a new one.
I'll check it at lunch...
Checking the cap is still not a bad idea. It's possible that it could be leaking on the left and the seeping toward the right side. Wind or vibration could push it the opposite direction, I suppose.
Will do.
Thanks for all the input guys MOOTsters rock!!!!
The good news is that it's not a hose so I can probably ride it home. The bad news is that it appears to be the radiator down near thebottom. I figure that's less likely to blow out than a hose.
I got home and there was no leakage! A week later and still no leaks.... I think it just spits at me if it gets low on juice :)
