Coolant leaking from top of overflow reservoir....
« on: July 12, 2017, 06:27:02 PM »
My 2006 People 250 started spewing/leaking coolant yesterday from the top of the overflow reservoir. No changes/additions have been made to the coolant level since I've owned the bike for the last 4 years. When the bike is warmed up, the level is up to the full line on the overflow bottle. Other than this leak, the bike runs perfectly fine. Any ideas?

Never mind. I found the problem. The radiator cap came loose and the coolant was leaking down everywhere. Tightened up the cap and no more leak. What a relief!
