fluid leak

[ironbutt]

i recently noticed a green fluid leaking from under my bike and cannot tace it.It started after the bike had been sitting for a month.There are small beads of green fluid on the frame.and also the shifter rod.I cannot find where it could be travelling from.The only thing that looks like it needs to be replaced is the rubber cover that is at the end of the shifter rod,which is completely worn out.Any ideas where i should start?

Thanks

It is likely the rubber plugs located behind the fake cooling fins that are bolted to the cylinder

When you remove the fins you will see a rubber plug. Use a sprkplug and thread into the plug to pull it out. I just replaced all of mine. It cost me $28 for all four

not sure if this was mentioned, but when you remove those plugs, a large amount of coolant is going to run out....
