Wondering if anyone has a cause off the top of their head. Riding with my daughter today when all of a sudden shes gone. Went back, she said it backfired and quit. I saw coolant flowing out from under. we let it cool, then made it to the road and picked up with trailer.

I brought it home but can not see where its leaking out, as soon as I put water in it flows out the bottom left side in front of the exchanger. I could see the bottom hoses, and they were not leaking. is there top hoses that run all the way acrossed top? Any ideas? I'll check it out in the AM. Thanks, Honk
 
There is a little rad hose on the bottom of the motor that cracks on the inside bend of the 90*. Have to pull the motor to replace it. It is a cheap part but a PIA to replace. been there done that. When you get the new one you will see Yamaha, just happened to reinforce the new one in that spot.
 
Was this part updated in the 04 models(i know they changed about 100 things between 03 and 04).
 
Possibly changed at that time. I just know when you get the part it has been reinforced.
