...have been following the different threads on this issue, but have yet to hear of a common reason...dealers buying back bikes...dealers scratching their heads..dealers just refilling the tanks...replacing caps...anyone heard of any official company statement?

 

Service manager whom I trust told me on Friday that it's the overfill container caps that were manufactured not to exact spec which is causing the problems. They had a handful of new 2014's that have the leaking coolant.

Supposedly... factory is trying to address this NOW before it becomes more of a public relation's nightmare for them.

 

Hard to believe that would make coolant come out the VENT at the top of the bottle which most are doing.

Maybe he meant the Radiator Cap or Neck?

Why are they puking coolant. Because they have coolant?

 

This is another falacy that we seem to read about with dealer personel giving false and/or incorrect information. Either that or else you miunderstood what he was telling you.

If the system is operating properly you wouldn't even need a cap on the overflow container except to keep the coolant from splashing out.

 

Just a guess, maybe the rad cap wont hold the coolant pressure.

 

Sounds like the moco needs to start making the caps in house.

 

LOL! I don't care who you are, THAT'S FUNNY!!!

 

..kind of what I thought...no one-single-reason, more like different dealers taking a stab at it...coming up with their own opinions...man..that isn't a good sign...thanks to those that responded.

 

the only thing I know for sure is that my 07 has never leaked a drop , and never runs hot
