Cold weather leaking antifreeze???

I rode the bike all week, 10-20 minute commutes. It sat all day yesterday in the sun in chilly weather, and today in windy and cold weather... and as I walked past it late today that it had leaked antifreeze underneath... WTF? <damn it I wish I had a garage>

Tomorrow the fairings are coming off and antifreeze level checked, but is that the thermostat or something?


5th gen, lived most of its life in Texas... so probably not used to the cold weather... hose seals? clamps not likin the cold?

 

i've had that happen before when a blast of cold weather blew thru, probably a slightly loose clamp at a plastic fitting, e.g. radiator. Thermostat is up high on the bike, follow the drips up to find the source...

 

Hose clamp. I have had that happen on several MCs when the temps drop. I would get a small, quarter size, puddle under the MC. Turned our to be a loose hose clamp.
