Got back from a 7k ride to Yellowstone and Waterton Lake. After the bike sat for about two weeks I had starter problems that turned out to be a low battery charge. Anyway in trying to figure out the starting issue I pulled all the plastic and saw the coolant reservoir was empty. With all the plastic off I cleaned the bike real good and looked for the leak. I filled the reservoir, started the bike and got it up to operating temperature (three bars and fans came on). Turned off the bike and saw a peddle of coolant on the floor. There was coolant running down the side of the engine under a small round hole. Turned the bike on again and revived the engine and saw coolant coming out of the hole.
From reading the forum it sounds like a water pump issue. Is this a correct assumption?
