Just got back from a 40miles drive in the sunshine, and just pulled up at home and noticed a couple of little drops of ;iquid leading up to the bike, then looking under the bike there is a little patch of green liquid that seems to be coming from overflow pipe

any ideas what this is?? serious or just something simple??

many thanks

Likely to be coolant, makes sense going for a reasonable rider on one of the first hot days of the year, that the bike may be overheating a little for some reason.

almost definately coolant. Give the overflow bottle a check to see if it is full up.

yeah mild green liquid, i thought it might be coolant and it mightv heated up a little bit, or the fact that to get into front garden i have to bump up a kirb which might have just tipped a bit out etc

any thing for me to do to prevent this at all? ill have a look to make sure its full before i set off to chester in the morning though Smile

many thanks everyone

Dont worry about it, May have just spilled out of the overflow as the bike overheated slightly. Not alot you can do unless it is a leak.
