Hi, Terry and the usual suspects are: 1. Faulty hoses and clamps. 2. Loose drain plugs. 3. Punctured fins. 4. Weeping water pump. 5. Faulty radiator cap. 6. Overheated engine. 7. Old coolant. 8. Overtighten hose clamps. For more information about your issue and valuable "FREE" downloads that you will need for viewing or printing please click on the blue links below.

hello and welcome
that tube contains o-rings on each side of it. with the middle clip removed that tube can be shoved from one side to the other. with just enough room to get an oring replaced one side at a time. if not then worst case scenerio is the cylinders need to be removed to replace them. thank you.

Hi Maria, Smoke blowing after a ride out or on start up is normally indicative of worn valve stem oil seals, normally caused by simply wear and tear if the engine has done few miles and regular oil/filter changes with a quality oil are important. Oil seeps into to cylinders past the valves so when combustion happens the engine burns the oil creating smoke. Take it to your bike garage for checking but it's not a cheap fix unless you know anyone whos a decent diy mechanic.

There should be some bolts behind the seat or under the seat than there is on at the back of the gas tank
