i just picked up my '95 F3 about a week ago. on the first ride home, and yesterday after riding for only about 30 min. there is a strong smell of what i believe to be radiator fluid. anyone have this problem? a small puddle also formed under the bike. (very small) I'm thinking it could be due to the dealership guys topping off all the fluids before sending it home with me. isnt there some sort of overflow hose? otherwise it could just be me being paranoid. after all, it is my first bike.

 

Good looking bike. I like that color scheme.

Yes, there is an overflow hose that can run some fluid out. That is normal. Check your fluid levels to make sure you haven't lost more than you should have and take a good look around to see if the fluid is on anything other than the ground. I had a little hose clamp on a small line at the top of my radiator loosen itself and drip a little bit once. It should be pretty obvious if there is fluid inside the fairings or on anything. If there is no sign of leakage and the coolant level is good, you have nothing to worry about.

 

ok sounds good
