[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1339370, member: 19880"] Some possibilities: Thankfully, you ruled out a holed radiator! That could be expensive. Quite possibly an overfill - did they drain and refill the radiator when they did all the "stuff"? If they managed to get a bunch of air into the radiator, it expands more when the bike is hot and will push more coolant into the overflow reservoir (and over the top). It might just need to be "burped" and then topped off again. Radiator cap is very possible. Either bad or simply not tightened all the way. (Bad cap will cause the fluid to boil and push liquid into the reservoir) Insufficiently tightened clamps or bad coolant pipe O-rings can cause a leak but not through the overflow tube. I doubt there is a major issue but what did you do to deserve this? [/QUOTE]
