Thirsty Scrambler?

Has anyone else noticed that their scramblers are going through anti-freeze? Mine is about 1/2" low after a few days of riding. I can't tell if it is leaking or burning it. The oil looks fine.

Make sure you check your counter balancer dipstick.Could be where it's going.If it is and you catch it early it could save you a lot of money.

Take a look at the water pump weep hole, the mechanical seal might be worn out. My Scrambler doesn't lose any anti-freeze but doesn't run all that well in 90+ degree weather.
