My viper has been hard starting since the day one. This is only after it sits for an hour after having been ridden. So I took it in for the fourth time and a few things were done, but it took 10 days to fix. It went in on a Monday and I called on Thurs. They said carbs were off and being worked and I asked if they would call when ready. On Sat no call so I did and still not ready. Mon I called and said they wanted to keep it one more day but I could pick it up Wed. This all seemed strange to me since when I took it in they were short on room. OK, I get the sled home and start it up and every thing normal. Later in the day I see it is leaking anti freeze on garage floor, but didn't see where. The next day I get to checking more and I see it is coming from a bolt on exhaust manifold. So I took it in again and explained this to service manager, but he didn't have time to look. Well, I picked the sled up today and hose clamp to carb was replaced. No it is is not leaking after letting it run. I did a compresson check and clutch side is 100psi while other two are 108 and 110. My thoughts are they started it up and forgot about it.
 

go back to the dealer and freak out ask them what the hell is going on.If they don't help or come good write a nasty letter to yamaha
 
leaking again

I notice antifreeze on garage floor this AM and yes its coming from middle cylinder where exhaust header bolts on.
