I have a small coolant leak on my 2002 GW 1800 :sadguy:
I'm wondering if anyone here has ever changed any of the
coolant hoses on their 1800 ? I have removed the cowl and
a couple of other sections from the front of the fairing and
can now get a better look at the hose that I think is leaking,
but can't get to the hose clamps :lash: I'm now thinking that
I will have to remove the fairing ???? If so, that looks as if it's
going to be a big job. I do want to let people know that on the
2002 1800, Honda did not insulate the brake fluid line in an area
that they should of, and as I checked that line, I can see that
it's been rubbing a bracket, and that's causing a dent in the line,
and it will in time cause the loss of the break fluid. There is also
a section on the fairing that is rubbing the coolant hose, and I'm
thinking that's where the leak is. Looking at the fairing I can see
what looks like coolant has run down it, and that's the area that
the coolant was dripping from. So, I would suggest that some
should take the time to check their break fluid line, and coolant
hose for rubbing and wear. I will try to resize some photos of this
and post them so you all will be able to see what I'm dealing with.
Now.... Again, has anyone ever changed any of their coolant hoses
on their GW 1800 ?
