[QUOTE="Constant Mesh, post: 1339385, member: 615"] I'd guess somebody topped off the coolant in the expansion tank and they overfilled it. The coolant was likely hottest during your stop-and-go near the end of your ride. Its volume increased the most during your stop-and-go and moved to the expansion tank. If the tank was overfilled there was nowhere for the extra volume to go but out the overflow hose and down onto the ground. My new FJR overflowed the second day I had it. Don't know if the dealer topped it off during assembly or if it came from the factory too full. Better to be too full than low since it'll self correct. [/QUOTE]
