So I have noticed the past few rides(4 or 5) that upon the first 10 mins of starting and riding I get some coolant leak. I rode about 4 miles to the gas station and noticed the coolant leak. A few spots the size of a dime of so. I also noticed it dripped on the inner left fairing but the bike was on the kickstand. So I ride about 10 or 15 miles and the temp got up to about 6 to 7/8s of the guage. Stopped for some grub and checked for leaks and none. After I ate still none. It only does it on initial start. And on the ride back the bike temp never went above half. Also no leaks when I got home.

I did change the coolant and bleed as instructed a few weeks back. Have to check coolant when its cold and see where its at. I know I have lost some the past few rides.

Just weird that its only the first few mins. Thought the system might be purging itself but I filled everything properly.
