Im not too sure where it is leaking from i find it usually coming down the fenders right behind the front tire and some is on the wheel. i dont know too much about all the stuff on a bike so im not sure where to look and see if it could be leaking there. And yes i know i need to find it and fix but i dont know what im looking for, and i definatly dont know what im going to do to fix it when i do find it.

in that case...you either get some tools and a manual...and start taking things off...or take it to the shop.

front tire...right behind the wheel...it's where the radiator's at. take off the fairings and look for it...maybe a hose just needs tightening up.

You might have a leaking hose or a loose hose clamp. Hopefully thats all it is. Maybe a hole in the radiator.... that would suck.

depends where it's leaking from.
most expensive is hole in radiator...you can get a used one off ebay for less than 100...and do the work yourself.
