I previously posted request for info on an "over-heat" I experienced last Sunday...I subsequently found that all of the upper rad hose clamps (x5) were loose. Thought I was in good shape. However, on today's ride (120 Km), I checked every 30Km or so and noticed that the reservoir was empty (the machine was running fine and no temp light). I had brought some coolant...thought I might have some vapour lock in the rear exchangers...noticed that coolant was dripping from under the engine. When I got home, I pulled off the side covers to check lower hoses. FOUND THE LEAK...a loose bolt is sandwiched between starter housing and heat exchanger...shoulder of the bolt has cut throught the exchanger. It is wedged in there...I left it for dealer to see on Monday.
I was unable to spot where the bolt came from....did find another loose bolt laying on top of the heat shield (manifold)...not sure where it came from either. Has anyone else had similar experiences? I just passed the 2 year mark/8000Km. I am concerned.
