Default Radiator hose leak...

Well I don't got any pictures atm. I noticed something that looked like bird crap on my engine case on the right side of my bike. I really thought it was bird **** but I took off the side fairing and found out my radiator hose had some coolant on the outisde of it. Iwipe off the coolant and pressed on the hose but no coolant came out. I'm not really sure it has a hole or if it's coming from something else.I guess while I was riding the coolant ran off onto the engine case and the heat made it turn white. I was wondering if anyone esle had this problem and how much does it cost to fix it?

Default RE: Radiator hose leak...

unless you have cooling issues, nothing is really wrong. get on the hose and tighten the hose clamp some more.

it's likely that the connection isn't great and the pressure from the system when hot caused the coolant to come out that area.

just make sure it's not from your radiator cap.
