I rode for a good 2 hours yesterday in the hot Texas sun and parked my bike in the usual spot. When I went back to my bike an hour later, I noticed a small puddle of coolant below the bike. I was frantically searching for a half an hour where the leak was coming from but I couldn't find it. Then I noticed that there was some dripping coming from the bottom corner of the reservoir tank. I tried tracing the leak upwards, but I couldn't find anything.
I checked all the hoses and their fittings, but they were all dry. I wanted to take that plastic radiator cover off but I could only manage the top bolt. How do you get that off? I can't for the life of me figure where this leak is coming from.
Would riding for 2 hours in the heat make it leak? It was at least 100 degrees for the whole ride. I never had my overheat light go off, nor did I get any steam. I took another hour ride a couple hours later and I still got the leaking but no signs of overheating.
