Why don't you take it out and pour water in it to check whether it leak. It may be due to overheating. Just my 0.001 cent advice

Coolant: used to conduct away heat from the cylinders and cooled down via the radiators. Do not run without it or your engine WILL SEIZE from overheating.

 

Air filter: to filter out particulate dust that might cause wear and tear if its sucked into the combustion chamber. Clean or replace it as per your owner's manual for optimum performance.

Actually u will need to really check, everytime water disappear may not be due to crack in radiator...you can also try to see if the hoses are in gd condition cos over the years the hoses may had dried up till there is a cracked and tis will cause the water to sip out. It will sip out during riding as water pressure is high at tis moment.

u can get a 2nd hand ones from scrap yard like the rest hav say..

but beware of the quality as the container may left for too long and crack too..

if u noe how to replace it, u can go to parts shop like FJT, chong aik or eversuccess to get the container..

as for the tube, u can go to any hardware shop and ask for the rite diameter of hi temp hose.. is black in colour usually..
