matey_peeps Posted January 12, 2004 Share Posted January 12, 2004 fired the bird up, started smoking from the front, smelled like coolant. sufficiently freaked out, i yanked the bodywork and found the hose clamp on the lower rad hose to be loose. tightened it back up, all is well again. i love this bike. that is all, carry on.

JJP XX Posted January 12, 2004 Share Posted January 12, 2004 Just think...if you had a Harley, you wouldn't have a leaking coolant problem! :twisted: :grin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdie_xx Posted January 12, 2004 Share Posted January 12, 2004 Nor you'd have to remove any bodywork.... :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northman Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 I had a loose lower hose clamp last spring. Must be a common problem. Should we all email Honda and demand they fix this issue before we think of ever buying another Honda product? Seems like the right thing to do........... :???: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motobeagle Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 I have a missing Frankenstein bolt, a chain that won't stay aligned, a noise coming from the motor at idle and above (I'm hoping it's the CCT), and growing crack coming from my left fairing. :???: This things as bad as my ZX-12. Relax, I'm, kidding. :???: :shock: :wink: I guess if you beat on any bike, it will eventually bite you. :twisted: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
