    Spyder Overflow tank for coolant

    Hi everyone..... my bike started to leak coolant tonight. Rad appears to be Ok. Leaks seem to be somewhere around the coolant tank. Has anyone ever experienced a cracked overflow coolant tank or cracked hoses? Has anyone ever changed a coolant tank or its hoses? Looking for some advice ... thanks!!

    The year and model of your Spyder would help. Some earlier MYs of Spyder did have some issues with the coolant tank cracking. Are you certain the top to the coolant tank is correctly installed and fully tightened?

    in past Spyder's - talking 2008 - some coolant tanks developed a crack - also when you think cap is tight - it is not.

    I would say a good cleaning, refill and ride it and keep a eye on it to see where it is really coming from, or do a pressure test on the system maybe in order! I just had a water pump replaced it was leaking on my RTL!! good luck
