    Sorry to hear that, are you really sure its leaking and not just still dripping whats been caught in the fins of the rad? I've only used radweld once and that was in a car - didn't work though :( best of luck though

    Rad cap is under the RH side fairing (at least on 2008+). I doubt radweld would do your bike any good though - better to have it off and have it welded if it's leaking. It's not that hard of a job draining coolant and refilling/bleeding anyway.
