I parked at home after riding home from work. 20 mile ride last 2 miles are city streets after a 11 mile ride in a nice canyon with near zero cagers. I came out of my house to put the bike in the garage after about 15-20 minutes. As I approached, I noticed a small puddle. Stuck my finger to it and did the smear between two fingers test and then a smell test. Definitely coolant. Puddle was about 2-3 inches across, and mainly just damp not alot of fluid. I could see it drip from the bottom "corner" of the right "pod". During my ride home it never ran above 185F. Anyone else have any coolant drippage? and, yes, my dealer has been notified. |

Overflow tank is on the right pod and it drips from the vent tube. I've seen a small spot under mine once after a hard ride and long idle trying to check the friggin oil level. Unless it's big, no worry. Z |

I know mine isn't an 1125r.But my 996 leaves a few drops on occasion. NO WORRIES Just beware you need to add coolant occasionally too |

I would bet some hard twistys could put a little coolant out the overflow tube once in a while. Us air heads arn't used to this. It's better than the twistys putting oil on your pants leg tho! |

My R1 disgraced itself after riding home from the shop. The 'technicians' had filled the coolant to the brim |
