Not sure about this one fellas?

Noticed that my coolant fluid was low after riding. Bought Polaris Premium 60/40 coolant and added it to my machine only to find it leaking on the floor. The clear plastic tubing that runs from the coolant reservoir to the radiator had a hole melted in it from the exhaust. The tubing obviously ran too close to the exhaust.
There could be two reasons for this. 1. When I had a fuel leak and the two fittings were replaced on the bottom of the fuel tank, the mechanic at the Polaris shop may have moved the tubing that the coolant flows through too close to the exhaust. 2. The designer did not think that the exhaust could get hot enough to melt plastic tubing so he decided to run the tubing from the coolant reservoir right past the exhaust. Hopefully number 1 is the correct reason.
So Please for your sake, take a quick look and make sure that all clear tubing is far enough away from the exhaust that you will not have the same problem. If you could reply to this and give me your findings, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and ride on!
