Jay,

I may be having the same problem. I periodically have to add coolant to the resevoir. I don't see where it could be leaking out except the hose that is on the bottom of the bike. I do see coolant coming out of that hose, from time to time. I mentioned this to a dealer while I was on vacation and he agreed with Joel, that it could be the radiator cap releasing coolant at lower pressures (and therefore temp) than it should. He said it would leak out that same hose if the radiator cap released coolant. I am going to take my radiator cap into a dealer to have them do a pressure test on it.

The possibility of the perfect picture lies around evey corner ... You just have to see it.
