Default Leaking coolant

I am leaking coolant from the left side of my bik out of two small hoses near the kick stand. Where do those hoses go and why is it leaking?

Leaking out of both hoses? I can only guess as I dont have your particular bike, that they are the radiator and return lines from the pump to the radiator and back. Probably have a loose clamp? Or perhaps it has a small cut? Seems odd that both would leak. Most likely one is dripping on the other or getting tossed up there from turbulence while riding? Just a few guesses.

One hose is an over flow from the gas tank and the other comes from the radiator reserve tank, it's possible some fluid leaked out of the reserve tank. Check and keep an eye on the coolant level, tighten your clamps and inspect the hoses.

If this is the case, as Fretless33 seems to have it nailed down to, your bike is ok to ride. Just keep an eye on it. you don't want that overflow to run dry. It may be just a case of your engine running a bit hot. when you check it, check it cold.
