Hey guys here is my dilemma. As it has gotten cooler out here, I have had to pull the choke out to get my Chicken started. When I do this and as it warms up a bit I noticed gas running down the side right at the tanks lowest point, also some coolant leaking out of the right radiator. When I push the choke in it stops and doesnt do it again as I ride throughout the day. This maybe a dumb question but hey any advice out there?

Check the hose clamps, they tend to leak on any vehicle when it gets real cold. Just tighten the clamps.

Also, Honda recommends not leaving the "choke" on for more than 30 seconds, as it will wash the oil off the cylinder walls. It's not actually a choke, but an enrichment circuit. After turning it off just hold the idle up at 2,000 to 2,500 rpm until it will idle on its own.

What Viscosity oil are you running? Should be 10W40, good down to 0 degrees F.
