everytime i go over 100mph the bike when sationary starts to leak from something and ends up as a nice puddle on the floor near the middle of the belly pan, it doesn't smell, it doesnt make the bike over heat and its not coloured? so any ideas why and what it is ? i have checked the engine oil and its still full i have checked the coolant and its still full ive checked all brake oil and its still full!?

oh, and its probably coolant.. which probably means the head-gasket as when they start to go, its common for the bike to have no symptoms except dumping coolant if held over 10,000 rpm under load ... which is .. errm 100mph in top :)

course it might just have been overfilled ..

bring it to me if you dont wanna taste it lolol

im not too keen on brake fluid but i doubt its that lol.

also, dont fill the coolant bottle to the max line, about half way between min and max is perfect ive found. if i fill mine to the max the odd little bit dribbles out when pushed hard.

and check the level in the radiator as well as the overflow bottle, they dont always suck everything back when they cool, which (obviously) exacerbates the problem as the rad isnt topped up, so it gets hotter, expands more and spits more into the overflow.
