I was riding home today(interstate)...bike water temp was 180 to 210 deg F, I experienced a slight loss of coolant. I had to make a brief stop at a store and noticed antifreeze on my left side upper fairing and all over my coolant resevoir tank. My problem is, I can't find the leak. The coolant tank cap was secure and all the associated hoses were tight. Also, there wasn't any coolant in the overflow tank either. I checked the coolant level in the resevoir tank and it read exactly between minimum and maximum. I am at a total loss. Could the resevoir tank been overserviced and the excess coolant escaped through the cap ? Is there a way that I can perform a system pressure test ? I'd like to rectify the problem before I do any damage to my bike. I continued riding home and the water temp never exceeded 220 deg F.....It is was a mighty hot day here in Dixie....96 deg F........110 F with heat index........any of you experienced Duc riders have any suggestions ???
Thanks in advance and ride safe......
