hi everyone, i noticed a small leak coming from the drain bolt on the water pump, any one had this problem and is it a easy fix, i tightened it up but still leaks any ideas, thanks in advance
 
I notice the same thing on my Roadster, mine is only slight and seem to stop when th bike warms up. Have get it back to the dealer this month before the warranty runs out at the end of April.

I had the same issue. Changed out the water pump and all was fixed.

I'd grab a new copper washer and put on. The compression at 10NM should make a good seal.

I also add a touch of permatex and whipe clean so it is not noticed. Remember its a casted cover and might not be perfect. You can also check the torque as it might just be a little loose.
