Question removed pipe and fluid came out and unsure how scarred i should be

ok so im removing my carbs to put restrictors in whilst its stripped to the frame iv been trying for 2 days and no luck as i dont have long enough srew driver (my aircraft engineer dad took em to work ) anyways so im having bad time with carbs then i pulled a pipe off that had alot of evaporated petrol and it went straight up my nose so i was quite dissy then i pulled a pipe (it was in the way of a screw) out of the cylinder and traced it bak to a hub on the left neer the gear shifter think may be radiator fluid.

how worried should i be that i spilt like 2L of the stuff
and how easy is it to replace

This thread is full of "Huh?!"

Really long sentance btw.

After re re re re reading, I think I know what you mean... you pulled off a tube that goes into one of the cyl's. if it's green liquid then yes, it's radiator fluid... go to a Honda dealership and buy more fluid to replace, it's on the right side of the bike infront of the shock (white reservoir.)

Hmm, It's around 15$ for a gallon or so, I can't imagine you spilled 2L, that would be he enire reservoir.

Get the radiator fluid from Honda, I will not recommend any other fluid, it just isn't the same

Noo u misunderstood!! I took a petrol pipe off my carbs and took alot of petrol fumes up my nose (i took a breath as the pipe came off) and that made me dizzy causing stupid mistake of pulling rad pipe off

I use Coolant, any brand, dosent matter to me. If you wanna make it really easy you can buy the pre mixed stuff and not have to worry about deluding it. I have never had any problems with it. Thats just my experience though.
