Re: GL1000 75 from France
It is fairly common for the orings on the cross tubes from the elbow at the top of the heads to the thermostat to leak, especially after working on them. ( carb removal) They leak inconspicuously down the unseen side of the elbow and follow the head gasket around the head giving the appearance it is leaking from below. You can usually tell by wiping your finger on the underside of the coolant elbow where the tube meets it. If it’s wet , that’s likely your leak.
I can usually just roll the tube in my fingers and it will seal up again. They seem to leak after sitting a while and a cold spell. (Must shrink?)

Whatever I suggest here should be given ample time for a moderator to delicately correct. I apologize in advance.

Re: GL1000 75 from France
Thanks for your advice ! I rechecked and elbow is dry, drops appears at the junction of the exhaust header and muffler, for the #3 cylinder pipe. This night, a puddle of coolant was created, about 3 inchs diameter . . .
I'll try to tighten the head bolts (I think I can do that without removing the camshaft ?!?) if it can be helpful . . .

Re: GL1000 75 from France
If a gasket has blown, it is unlikely that torquing the bolts will do any good. Camshaft removal would not necessary.
With that much water in the exhaust, the machine must be steaming heavily out the pipes when running, no? That would confirm a blown gasket.

Yes, steam on the right exhaust (as the golds use to do I presume), but effectively more than usual when I ran the engine yesterday . . .
