Re: leaking coolant ...
 

Still haven't looked at it yet.

I don't have any tools here and my friend was supposed to bring me some to work. It uses allen wrenches and he brought the wrong size .. then he forgot the other days.

So if worse comes to worse, I'll just get the fairings off and drain it so I can get it on the moving truck without worrying about it leaking.

Anyone know how to drain the coolant on a GSXR?

there should be 1 or 2 hoses running to the water pump, which is on the left side of the motor. unplug those and pour water in the reservoir until you stop seeing green stuff or whatever color it was when you initially unplugged the hoses

^^^ Don't listen to this tool ^^^

To the OP: if you're not familiar with your bike's engine/cooling system, have a knowledgeable friend or mechanic look at it. As simple as these things are, if you don't know what you're doing and don't have the right tools, you can easily damage your bike or hurt yourself.

What up /26 :P

Yo, Duy.

Hawaii is good, staying very busy with Grad School and work. Surfing a bunch and get to ride a 50cc 2-smoke Chinese moped as a DD.

How's Cali treating you?

Welp .. i finally made it to CA!

Some awesome roads on the way to where I'm living. My bike won't be here until next weekend though.. but my landlord has his Buell in our garage .. hmmm. :P

I got the fairings off last week. I can't find exactly where it's leaking from, but it looks like it's on the front face (facing the front wheel), where the fins meet the end caps/end tanks (whatever they're called) of the radiator. A bunch of fins looked saturated with something.

So, who knows. All I had time to do was drain it so it would stop leaking and I could get it shipped.

Once it gets here, hopefully I can get it fixed for cheap and just sell the thing. I'm not sure if I need a new radiator though. I need to look into it more.
