Anyone else notice this on their bike if so what did it turn out to be? I plan on having it looked at in the spring, in the mean time I'll keep an eye on it.

Most common source is the one radiator hose that has worm clamps. Tighten them a bit and it should be good. If that doesn't do it, you may have a leaking water pump shaft. There is a service bulletin regarding that problem.

with Scotty..also check radiator cap and see that is tight to the second detent as well as the tank itself for any cracks. Hope it is just the loose clamp..easy fix..!! :thumbup:

My 2012 RTL just came back from the dealer with the same thing...Loose hose clamps like Scotty said..Covered under warranty!

My leek was a loose clamp, it's had to get a screwdriver to it but got it tight enough to stop leek.
