Several people have experienced a base gasket area coolant leak at the water jacket including me....
At first I improperly thought it was the head gasket and commented on the blown head gasket thread. Well it's been about a month and the dealer finally received the parts and started working on the bike...it should be done tomorrow, I'm more excited to ride than before I picked it up lol..
What they discovered, or didn't discover was the o ring....it was completely absent, their theory is that it was just a fluke at the factory ....so there you have it in my case at least...I was pretty concerned that it was a fundamental flaw in the bikes design (this is the first new machine I've bought) I was at 2650 miles on the clock
So just a heads up, when checking your oil look for coolant residue!
And enjoy the **** out of this lil bugger!
