[QUOTE="SkooterG, post: 822656, member: 118"] Coolant leak covered by yes when its the thermostat? Hmmmm.... I don't know. I would tend to doubt it. A lot will depend on how much the dealer goes to bat for you. Still, only two and a half year old bike? How many miles? I had a coolant leak that was the thermostat. But mine was 4 years old at the time and had 95k miles. I didn't even try to get it covered by Y.E.S. The thermostat can most definitely be the cause of a leak as the 'gasket' for the thermostat and the two halfs of the housing is part of the thermostat. Why it would go bad is anybody's guess. See my below two links for more detail of my experience.

While not complicated, it would take me 2 hours as I go slow so I don't f#%! stuff up. [/QUOTE]
