WTF? ZX14 pissing antifreeze after a short 15minute ride Any one had this happen?
I start my bike this evening to go for a short trip about 15 minutes. I let the bike warm up for about a minute before leaving. The weather is about 75 degrees here in Hawaii. We went for our short trip and as soon as I parked the bike. It starts leaking what appears to be antifreeze all over the concrete. I looked at the coolent tank and it was empty. I pulled off the cowling and try to find out what was going on. The point at which it appeared to be leaking was small tube coming from the coolent tank, which I presume to be the overflow.
I just don't understand, I have ridden this bike all day long in the 90 degree heat and never had this problem. On my old ZX12R one of the main hoses was loos and was leaking from there. But I didn't see any think like that in this case with my 14.
Any suggestions?
I was going to take it in to the dealer, but I worry it might not happen again.

Full throttle!

was the overflow tube loose on the catch tank? since the catch tank fills from the bottom, if that tube leaks, it would empty the tank.

Something about he cut or pinched or burned a hole in the overflow hose when he installed the frame sliders.
