Hello folks.
I thought that the overflow tank was where I was supposed to be topping my coolant up (it was empty yesterday), so I went outside and topped it up to full last night.. =/
Anyway, I only really do 2 mile trips on the bike to work and back every morning and afternoon and it leaks religiously when I get to work and when I get home. I took the bike for a proper blat this evening (40 miles) and there was no leak at all.
I took the tank off and couldn't see fluid anywhere and I took the radiator filler cover off and it was all nice and clean inside.
Is there any chance that this random coolant weep is being caused by such short trips on the bike every day?
Also, no I've not got the centre stand on yet! Turns out that it can't pivot due to the position of the exhaust. Gunna deal with that shortly 8)
