I have a 2000 Banshee. Yesterday after about an hour of riding, I noticed some coolant leaking down onto the frame on the left side. Very little. I took all the plastic off and can't see any obvious leaks. Any ideas, typical reasons or thoughts on this are appreciated. Thanks and god bless Banshees.

Your Banshee might have heated up and spit up some coolant my dads dose it once and a while and it runs on his pipes the botle on the back that holds coolant there is an over flow hose that runs up by the raditor I took my over flow hose and cut some of the hose off there is a hole in the fram by the brake fluid for the back brake cut the hose so it will go in the hole.

Agreed...Banshees like to spew a bit a radiator fluid from time to time...especially on wheelies.
The hose is routed from the over flow bottle back up front. I would not be too concerned..But make sure you have no leaks for sure.... Check all the clamps that go into the head. ASnd make sure the radiator cap is tight.
