coolant loss
hello everyone - can anyone explain why after a ride my Gt 750j dumps coolant on my drive - it happened once after i had topped it up after the winter break but it happened a second time last night after a ride out - the bike doesn’t appear to be overheating and the temperature gauge is in the middle - i looked in the neck of the filler cap when it first happened and was happy it wasn’t over full after the first incident - should i be worried it’s a sign of something sinister ?

Re: coolant loss
Both of my GT750 will spit out coolant till they find there happy level,then holds at that point, I was worried because it is a little below the level noted in manual, but it hasn't been a problem for years now. I would say if you can see coolant in the filler neck it should be fine.
A few weeks ago while on a ride, I blew the small hose between the filler neck and expansion tank which lowered the level even more, but rode another 150 miles without issue.
