    Default Red Dragon Wet The Bed

    Two weeks ago we (Pensacola) experienced a nice 70 degree day (of course I went Ryding. Temps that night fell to about 28. The next day I awoke to find that Red Dragon had leaked what appeared to be antifreeze. I limited my ryding until I could get PMS to take a look at her. They updated the DPS, Checked the belt specs (OK), and Searched but could not find the leak. Got her back the next day, in time to ryde to work. It hasn't happened since. But I pulled the cover and checked the level. Nothing serious, but I topped it off (max level). Hope she never does that again.

    Bottle says toss the left over. Do I have to?

    If you have fresh antifreeze left over in a bottle, then you can hang onto it for a while. If it has been used, might as well toss it. It is pretty cheap anyway.

    Default Coolant overflow tank hairline crack

    You should check your coolant overflow tank for leaks/cracks. Just yesterday I had to replace my coolant overflow tank. I noticed a leak and upon further investigation I found that the coolant overflow tank developed a hairline crack.

    "Tyson". Our Boxer is safe, sound, and antifreeze-free. Still no leak since that one incident.

    I would look at the clamp on the right side that gose from the tank to waterpump. The last 2 yrs i had problems with leaks due to cold & the dealer has taken apart/replaced it atleast 2-3 times now. it would only leak when it got down to freezing and the bike sat overnight. so good luck

    During a trip from San Diego, Ca to NY in November and December i notice leaking under my bike in the mornings before i hit the road after driving across Texas. While stop in PA i checked bottle and found it had hairline cracks. Removed bottle then added some gorilla glue to cracks and along the seam this held the remaining trip.

    Bottles plastic is cheap, can't handled expansion and contraction from extreme hot to cold in a region.
