Bit confused, i have a 954 blade and a few weeks ago i had a small pool of coolant on the floor of the garage, so off came both fairings and when i felt behind the left hand side of the radiator guard it was wet (coolant wet), so i cleaned it up and put it on its Abba stand, checked the level in the radiator, but when i took the radiator cap off it was full up ? But i have been out to it a few times now and when i put my hand up that side it is wet, i know its coolant and not just water or damp etc, the other side is bone dry...... could i have a tiny leak ? I thought it may be due to one of the holding wires from the rad guard somehow punctureing the radiator, could this happen ? I think the only thing i can do is get its pressure tested.

Think H is saying , it could be the block? Try some K-Seal It, worked on my radiator and still going strong!
IMO the rads on the 929/954 are pretty good,not flimsey like the later 1000 rads and todate I,ve never seen a leaking one (and I,ve seen a few in my time!) .If your not a spannering type then drag in someone to ave a look,Puff some baby powder over the affected area and it,ll usually show you where its leaking,those pics show where the block can crack on early 954,s and it tends to "spit" coolant forward onto the lower part of the rad & the first you know is a bit of coolant leaking from the belly pan. .
Until i removed the side fairings that is how it came down (down the left hand side as your sat on the bike), not too much of a spanner type of guy but will be off for a week (next week) and will get it in then and get them to have a look.
