Ok so I took off my fairings to do some maintanance and i see that i have a coolank leak. i found where it is coming from. the thing that sucks is it looks impossible to get to. it seems like i may have to drop the engine to get to the hose. it may have been leaking all winter, i dont know. i checked the radiator and its still full and so is the coolant reserve tank. i was think just leaving it alone but i dont know what i should do. i dont want to pay so much money to just get a hose replaced. any suggestions?

 

I can't imagine what part of the engine would be so inaccessible to where you'd have to drop it to get to it. Is it behind the radiator; under the tank? Anyway you could post a picture? You have to be more descriptive.

 

i will try to get pictures when i get home but the hose is under the gas tank, under the rear of the air box. I was looking and it looks hard too hard to get to even if I take off the air box. But i will try to get pictures of it.

 

Is it this part, the thermostat housing?

 

yeah it looks like it the biggest one in the picture. though im not 100% sure. i will look at it again when i get home.
