Yes, I will check them all (the ones I can get to). There are other clamps as well (like under the fuel tank - which I am not pulling at this time)Originally Posted by Wing'n it

Got my Whistler remote camera into that area of the left radiator top hose and clamp; here it is:
So close and so far away... I really am hoping I can figure out a way to get to it; without disassembling the entire front end. Do you REALLY have to pull the whole front fairing to get to this top left radiator hose clamp?Or is there an easier way

..to fix a leaking radiator hose clamp
Still so close... and yet so far:
I am starting to understand the absolute madness of the Honda motorcycle engineer/designer. This machine was born in the pits of hell.
I am cautiously expectant that I will be able to loosen the left side fairing enough now, to somehow get my hands in there to adjust/tighten that hose clamp. And this is good practice for the air filter change out later on....

...so I took my bike apart IAW the repair manual. But to get to the top left radiator hose; you only need to remove the upper cowl and the inner fairing area after all.
There are some really difficult pins to coax out of those inner panels though.... pain in the azz...
I now can easily get to the leaking radiator hose clamp:
A lesson to be learned... so you'all don't make the same mistake....
At any rate, now I know how to get into the innards of everything... and I needed to pop some panels anyway to get my Gerbing power connection installed....

She will "rest in pieces" for a bit....
It's nice to have a place to work on it.
