Yeah, possibly, but I wonder why now and not at the Western Rallye?

I'll double-check, but I'm pretty certain that the tube is routed
properly -- at least at the bottom. Maybe it's loose somewhere higher
up? I guess the dealer will find out. (He has to remove the tank to do
the fuel sender recall.)

I haven't had any leaks (or "pukes") in the past, and my coolant level
generally hovers around the lower level in the overflow tank. I hadn't
done anything to change the coolant level since the 12K service, which I
had done right before I left for the Western Rallye.
Heck, who knows. I'm just going to ride.
