F3 leaking
I have a 2015 f3s....every once in a while I get a smell of smell of antifreeze on the right side of the bike and a little drop on the motor any ideas?

My 2015 F3 dropped a little coolant every once in a while when parked if it got very very cold (around zero) and then got warm in a short period of time (within 24hours). I just kept an eye on the coolant level. It never seem to move. So I never worried about it.

Well...
Start with checking that all the hoses are well connected, then check that the cap is on tight (older models had two detents and if they were on the first they would leak) then eyeball the coolant tank for cracks. Waterpump seals usually leak to the floor. Don't know if the new models have all odiker clamps as the older ones had at least one worm drive clamp that was sometimes loose and would leak....only other would be a head gasket leak but least likely....
could also be overfilled so check the level of coolant...

F-3 leak
These are not facts but questions or thoughts for consideration: Isn't there a "weep" hole on the water pump??? These start to allow leakage as the pump is failing don't they???

My F3S leaked a little in the same spot. I tightened up the water pump cover bolts a little bit and that solved it.
