Got caught in the rain today, when I got home and parked I noticed there was (I hope) steam rising from the radiator. Stupid question, but this can't possibly be smoke right? Engine temp was normal, coolant is ok. I just wanted to make sure its normal for rain water to hit the hot radiator and cause steam.

 

It probably looked like it was coming from the radiator, but it was probably was coming off the exhaust. Recheck it when it's dry out.

 

Will do, thanks!

 

Mine steams at every stop light in the rain, its just steam coming off the motor/exhaust.

 

Yeah I rode around today after it stopped raining and everything was fine. Just me being paranoid and not knowing much about bikes, but this is definitely the right place to go for any inquiries...thanks everyone.
