I just got me bike running again after sitting for a few years. Its running well, except for a coolant leak that i have. Its leaking out of one of the hoses near the rear swingarm. There are 3 what look like drain hoses there, and this one is leaking out coolant. It looks to me like it comes from the thermostat housing. Anyone know whats wrong here? Thanks for any advice/help!

 

sounds like a over flow hose..

is the bike over heating?

 

Not that i know of yet. I dont think i have run it long enough to see it overheat. Would an overflow hose come off of the thermostat housing and not go to the overflow tank??

 

did you change the thermostat? Sounds like it's not opening, cause it to bypass out of the overflow tube.

 

That was my next step. I just wanted to check here to see if there was another route i should take. Sitting for a few years, i guess would cause the thermostat to not act normally. Thanks for confirming my thoughts.
