Noticed my coolant level was very low this morning. Is this a common problem on 950 adv? And what brand of coolant do you recomend? thanks
It probably went into your oil via the water pump shaft. Check the inside of your clutch cover for milky looking oil residue or check your oil filter and see if the pleats look wavy instead of straight. Plenty of info on this site if you search for "water pump".
could be this shaft / seal leaking even if the oil isn't milky. I've had the same issue for a little while (just about to change the shaft and seals for the first time) and my oil looks fine.
I disagree. My water pump is just starting to go my filter was fine but there was a little bit of milk on the inside of my clutch cover.
like it happened to me, it could also be a temporary dip in the coolant level due to a li'l bit of air stuck in the circuit. check the oil filter, then the WP shaft seal and if you haven't flushed the coolant (see link below) on your bike, DO IT !!!! http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=450406&highlight=coolant+flush
