Riding to work today I discovered a leak of coolant. After lots of flashlight looking I found that the resevior is cracked and bubbling coolant out slowly. Has anyone ran into this or had to change theirs.? It looks as if it is going to be a real treat to get it out. Or is there a possibility to plastic weld it or some kind of glue I can use to get me through until the first snow.

Also does anyone know a parts guy online that might have them for when I am ready to order one.

Thanks!

Tank off, airbox and possibly dislodging the carbs to one side should give you access to change it over. All it should take one or two hours to change over.

I had to change mine out a few years ago and yes it can be a real bitch to get in out and back in......

i had to do this several months ago,its a pain in the ***.it will be about 2 hours start to finish.
the hardest part is getting the carbs off without doing damage.its a bit tricky,but its not too bad.just try and remember how the route of all lines go and such.it can be like tetris.
