Hi,

do the 2 big pipes coming from the rad connect to anything at the other end? if not, that could be the problem.....



seriously, it could be a split hose or maybe the jubilee clip is either loose or rusted/broken or the rad is on its way out. let it all cool down and then have a look and see if you can see any damage etc.

have a look at the coolant level as well, you dont want the bike overheating.
