Forgive me if this has been duplicated but I searched and didn't quite find what I was looking for in previous threads.
I've got a 2011 FZ8 and during my most recent fluid top off session I noticed a pretty sizeable crack in my coolant recovery tank under the seat. I'm not entirely sure how long it's been there but I just washed the bike and am just now seeing signs of leakage on the frame from the crack.
I haven't been riding super crazy but the commute to work does take me over some notoriously crappy Salt Lake City roads. I avoid as many potholes and poorly poured driveways as I can while driving but...yeah.
I'm wondering if anyone else has encountered this same issue? I'm not sure if maybe I hit a pothole too hard and cracked it, or if it's just a heat/weather and age thing. Any helpful insight would be much appreciated!
