    I LOVE Grille'd Venison I have 2 in the freezer this year, never fired a shot. They both commited suicide on a fence down the road from me.

    Thanks for the offer. I'll have to see how things progress when we get out there. It will probably be short notice if we find the time.

    Are you sure it's not those old finger knuckles popping from arthritis ?

    Yeah what he said: Crankcase Breather Cover Trim

    Well, I can't believe it ! Seems that the plug shimming stopped the leak. I know, I know ........... y'all told me so I wish all fixes could be this easy.

    Sorry to hear of your mis-fortune. I always put my wallet in a zippered pocket when riding, of course that does not help if you leave it on a counter or worse yet set it on the bike while fueling. I lost my wallet twice, both times I was lucky enough to have had honest folks find it, returned with everything intact both times. I have my fingers crossed that you are as lucky. Good Luck

    I left the house this morning, it was 34* out, So as long as it's not I'll have a good ride. The PCH is a must.

    Looks like I'll be going out to San Francisco the 2nd & 3rd week of December for work. I'm thinking about renting a bike for 2 days. Where should I ride it to ? I'd like to see some rural coastline, maybe Yosemite or Sequoia ? I'd love to see some of those Giant trees they have out there, are they Redwoods or Sequoia's?
  14. ragtop69gs
    Yeah, I looked at that too. The shop manual calls it the "Crankcase Breather Cover" No leak there.

    Well, after doing everything I could to locate the source of the leak, with no luck, I shimmed all 4 plugs and put it all back together. I'll go for a put later today then see what I have in the morning. I'll be surprised if it helps. Other than that, the only thing I changed was to snug up all the clamps.

    I have the fins off both sides, front and rear there is no tracking that a coolant leak would leave. I did a close inspection of everywhere there's an o-ring, no signs at all of a leak. This really has me scratchin my head
  18. ragtop69gs
    gloomy and cold ! Is that what you call 75 degrees?
  19. ragtop69gs
    After close inspection of everything you have talked about, I can say without a doubt, it's not coming from any of the hose connections or o-rings, up there or where the hoses meet the head, or water pump. No signs of leakage around the head gaskets either. I guess my next step is to pressure test the system. Not sure what it will acomplish since I can see no visible sign of a leak.
  20. ragtop69gs
    That's what I figured. I have a bottle of dye in the garage, I'll put some in. Thanks
  21. ragtop69gs
    I'll pop the tank off for a look around. I could not see any tracking coming from up there, you think you'd see some signs. Will the blacklight show the coolant without adding a dye to the system? Thanks for the offer, If need be I will call. How could the leak be up that high but not show any signs of a coolant stream that are visible ? Thanks to all for the suggestions. I'll report back with my findings.
  22. ragtop69gs
    Thanks for the suggestions Ruffy. Guess I'll just have to start digging into it.

    I have read all the posts about the plugs behind the fins. I pulled the fins to check the plugs and found none of them to be leaking. The drip just started as the cold weather set in, It drips just behind the kickstand pivot. The puddle is the size of a silver dollar after 24 hours. This on an '01 RSV 40K on the odo. So if it's not the cylinder plugs what else might it be? I see no seepage around the head gaskets or anywhere on top of the motor. Inspection with a mirror and flashlight of the underside of the motor shows it dripping off the shift rod, but I can't tell where it's coming from. The reserve tank is at the proper level. No overheating problems. My last few rides have been in temps of 25 to 40 degrees. I need to get this fixed before Thursday, as a pgr member we provide the parking guides for the veterans day service at Great Lakes National Cemetery.

    Thanks for clearing that up. Lord knows we should not neglect our pumpkins, especially at this time of year.

    Those are some fantastic pictures. We got lucky back in August while we were in Yellowstone, Saw a mama griz and 2 cubs walking on a ledge about 30 yards from us. I had just put the camera back in the saddlebag We had snow then also, they had the south entrance closed till mid day, delayed our ride down to Jackson Hole by a few hours.
