Hiya
Hope you've all had a good Christmas
Just looking for abit of advice if possible, as i'm relatively new to bikes.
I've noticed over the past few months that the bike hesitates when accelerating, usually for the first 5-10 minutes or directly after riding very slowly for a period of time (I practice going in and out of cones, u-turns,, etc in a local car park). I've found that if I accelerate hard enough that it seems to clear.
However today I started the bike up as it's been sat outside for a week without running. I noticed coolant coming from the Cylinder Head weep/drain hole on the left side, the liquid was green. After turning the bike off and leaving it for 15 minutes I restarted it but after running it for 15 minutes but no further coolant came from the drain hole. I checked above the engine for leaks and couldn't find any, so I'm thinking it may be internal.
Just wondering what could be the cause of coolant coming from the weep hole? I'm putting two and two together and thinking that a gasket/seal may have gone that is leaking into the spark plug cavity which may be causing the hesitation and leakage. Just not that familiar with bikes to locate the seals that may be the cause, anyone able to point me in the right direction?
Cheers in advance!!
