My '89 GL1500 with a '99 CSC trike conversion has a very slight drip of antifreeze when I shut it down. I have looked (not real hard) but haven't been able to locate where it is coming from. When riding the trike I get a whiff every once in a while but that's it. Last year I added less than 1/2 quart of Hondaline 50/50 premixed antifreeze ($4.95 a qt)during the whole riding season so I don't think it's anything serious. I suspect it is coming from one of the carburetor cooling lines because it started after having the carbs worked on prior to the riding season. Does anyone out there know how to get to these lines without dismantling the motorcycle? I took the carbs off myself & then had a dealer rebuild & re-install them so I know what a bugger bear it is to get to the lines... Sure am looking for a shortcut!!! A pressure tester that would fit the radiator would be a big help if I knew where to get one, the only ones I have found don't have adapters for that size filler neck.

Had the same problem with my `91 Aspencade. Next
time you put a new air filter in, check the hose that runs from the radiator to the overflow tank. My hose was bad and leaking. Noticed anti-
freeze smell when I was driving it. Put a new hose
on, and mounted some better radiator hose clamps on both ends. Problem went away.

Oh yeah....the siphon hose that goes into the
overflow bottle had a crack in it also. replaced
that also. Make sure radiator cap is on tightly.
