My 2004 RX1 is leaking antifreeze and I can't find where it is coming for. All's I can tell is that is is on the right side of the sled sitting on it. Any ideas? Thanks
 
It may be coming out of the overflow. The hose will dump it near your right foot.
 
It not comming from the overflow, my bottle is empty I think it is comming from the right running board heat exchanger and running to the front
 
check your rear suspension bracket. It may have rubbed thru the aluminum cooler. Mine did - both sides. There was a post about a month ago with the same problem. BTW - when the dealer replaced the other side on mine this season - it's a slightly redesigned cooler - more clearance as susp bracket. Go figure.
 
Edge,
I found the leaks and you were right. It has rubbed through on both sides.
Yamaha went good for you on this and changed them? I had my welded for now so I could still ride but I will take it to the dealers when I get back.
 
It took a little complaining...."because they had never had another failure like that before". But it's kind of strange that the design changed slightly to allow more clearance???
Anyways, I also had the shop put some rubber padding between the bracket & coolers.
I ride off trail a lot (hate trails!!), so I'm always moving my entire weight from one side to the other. I figure this may have attributed.
 
I will let you know if they will do anything for me, they have been great to deal with so I am hopping they will change them. Again thanks for the heads up on this
