I was changing my coolant today and removed all the part's from the right fairing to gain access and noticed when I removed the coolant tank Reserve it's melted like some rock hit it or something (see pictures).
Not sure what caused this but it's very odd to say the least. Going to order a new reserve tank of coarse but trying to prevent this type of damage in the future any ideal's?

Next question I drained out the coolant from the system and recovered 1/2 gallon of fluid does this sound about right? I topped it off with the new Engine Ice Coolant used 1/2 gallon and a little more on the other 1/2 gallon i purchased. Bike is running between 175 to 180 degrees right now. This was the Oem stuff i replaced tho it still look's new I haven't changed it since 2009.

2006 if that works I'll check the guidebook honestly not that much from Honda $25.00 for the tank but I'll buy it from you pending it works beets waiting .

Looks like something hot touched it and melted it. Not a mechanic, but I play one on TV.

same to you and yours E!
Checked the system from Honda but the part number's are different on those years . Ordered up a new one online and should be shipped out tommorrow. I plan on adding some protection on the new tank covering up the top half but not the below part so i can see the fluid level's.

I'm going to wrap the new part I've been told this is a knowen problem on the 05-06 bike..
2007 was an all new frame and Honda didn't add any heat shielding on these year's .
