Antifreeze

[CincySpyder]

My Spyder has been sitting for a week:spyder:. I took it out for a little spin and noticed a few drops of antifreeze in my driveway when I got back. there were no other vehicles in my drive way. Is this normal after sitting?:dontknow:

Hose clamp

My buddy had this happen to his about a week after we picked them up from the dealer. He took it back and it was just a clamp that needed tightened. At least that was my understanding. I wasn't with him so I'm not sure which panels they took off to get to the hose clamp. No problems since:2thumbs:

antifreeze / hose clamp for overflow tank

had same problem w/ 1/2 dollar size antifreeze spot after spyder was parked,had dealer look at and was told that clamp on overflow hose @ tank was loose and it took a few turns to properly tighten

been snowing here since it came home from shop so have not been able to
see if that fixed the problem

good luck w/ yours checking it out/greg

Check radiator cap to be sure it is on the second latch.

Thanks for the heads-up re coolant leaks. I have too many pets running around my house and I don't want then harmed when the Spyder comes home. I think I'm going to take a long ride and take the Spyder up to operating temps, park it on the dealership lot, then look for coolant leaks. If there are any, I will ask them to fix it before I take delivery. I'll have all the time in the world to do this....my pets don't. :thumbup:

I had a few of the odeker clamps on hoses leak when :spyder:was siting and weather started to cool down dealer replaced with new clamps they were not properley tightened at factory so check when cool mine had to be pressure tested to pinpoint the leaks and was covered under warranty :doorag:

I can't see where the leak came from. waiting for the weather to get a little warmer. Cap ight. over flow tube looks clean Looks like this spyder will make it to Ohio bike week at least for a couple days in Sandusky. Anyone else goin? How about you BNL?
