Coolant Overflow

[lightman02]

I'm not sure if this has been discussed before but I thought I'd ask. I just got my bike back from first service. I took a ride about a 100 miles to my cousins house in about 90 degree weather. The bike ran great and there were no issues and the guages were all normal. However when we went back to look at the bike (show it off) we noticed a pool of coolant on the a-arm. I took a closer look an noticed that it came out the overflow on the coolant bottle. I inspected the bike carefuly as there are no loose hoses and no coolant spray on the bike so I know it came out after I stopped. So does anyone know why this happend and is it possible they overfilled my coolant?? There is still a good amount in the bottle at least the minumum. Any suggestions???

I had the exact same problem -turns out my cap was not seated properly....

Thats a good point as it seemed that I didn't have to turn the cap as much to get it off as I did to put it back on tight.

I believe that was the same problem Lamont, and at least one other ryder had. Loose cap.

Yes I had the same problem after first service....Cap wasn't on all the way.
