Yesterday I jumped astride my trusty steed for a quick trip to Wallyworld. As I leaned the bike to the right to lower the side stand about a half cup of beautiful green liquid rolled off the top of the engine and landed on the pavement right beside my "dress" tenny pump shoes. I looked at the puddle and said "Humph". Put the stand down and went into the store, shopping and thinking about the problem and decided it was probably the only thing I didn't replace during the refresh, the coolant tube o-rings. Then I said "Damn". Rode it home and no liquid on the engine when I got here. Then I did a joedrum, "hmmmmm". This morning I started tearing her down getting ready to pull the carb rack to replace the tube orings but decided to run it to see if it would leak when it was on a cold start. Took awhile, no tubes leaking then I saw it, slow drip on back side of radiator cap. Removed the reservoir tank to get to that area and the overflow tube off the radiator to reservoir slid right off, the clamp was gone. Four hours work for a dollar part but was so thankful I didn't have to pull the carbs ........again. Decided today that this will be the last dresser I will own. Too much work involved to fix simple problems.
