Question

why does the v-rod radiator leak in the winter?

Answer 1

Well things tend to contract when they get cold .. some thing that normally wouldn't leak when it's warm will when it's cold. Are you riding it in cold weather? or is it put up for the winter?



Oh well .. don't know if you are supposed to drain a V-Rod in winter if you are not going to ride it. Anyways I would take it down to the closest Harley dealer and have one of their wrenches check it out and find why it's leaking.



Hope it's nothing serious ... ride safe and keep the rubber side down .. buh bye.

Answer 2

There should not be any leaks. Call your dealer and have them check it. Do not ride it or run the bike until you talk to the dealer. Depending on where and how cold it is where the bike is stored, you could have a cracked radiator or something as simple as a loose connection.

Answer 3

take to a dealer or a good wrenchman.

good luck........ride free ride safe........
