Has anyone had a head weep antifreeze
So this is not related to the 14 but my wifes 2008 Z1000 (just out of warrenty has started to weep antifreeze from the head just above where the rear engine mount bolt goes there is no crack but 2 small spots where the paint has peeled away and the aluminum looks like a aero choclait bar , We thought that it was a hose till we washed it all down checked all the clamps , watched the area and small drop weeps right out of the aluminum , will take pics and post .

if its close to the warrantee date, take it to your dealer bro... worst they can say is no.... then you know what your dealer is worth too.

I just reread this and it sounds like acasting flaw, not a a gasket leak?

The bike is 3 months out of warrenty I am trying to find my dig camera to take good pics But in the middle of the move its been fun trying to dig it up . to me it looks like a casting flaw new head is $1100 for a new head , Going to try Kawasakis good will hoping they will cover some of or all of it .
2 spots about the size of a pencil lead weeping antifreeze just above the bolt boss for the left engine mount rear of engine agian will post pics
