Sorry to hear that. There was a post some time ago about misaligned heater hoses that get abraded by the fan. I did a search but couldnt find it .....

Good luck

I also had the engine block heater come out of the side of the block. Happened at 5000 rpm. Lots of coolant all over, lucky not to get some on the tires...

Cheer up, the moving company could have gotten in an accident and totaled your car, severely damaged your bike, and ruined the rest of your possesions so you had nothing left to move into the house you were already renting, like what happened to us when we moved to Detroit to start working for Ford in the late 70's. Then you could threaten to sue your new employer your first week on the job like I had to so they would pay for excess moving damages they said they would cover but didn't. I could have written a book about our experiences there which could have made the best seller list in the fiction category because nobody could ever believe it was the truth. That's life in Detroit, hope it gets better for you. It only got worse for us, which is why we moved back to Chicago.

Hope you get your L fixed ASAP, and that it is something minor. Better Luck down the road.
