Cooland Leakage

Coolant Leakage
I was testing out my f4i just a moment ago and I noticed something: I had it on its kickstand and it was on neutral when I revved it to around 10k rpm or more then I noticed a coolant leakage after I turned it off. So I tried it again, this time I was looking at the undercarriage itself when I asked a friend of mine to revv it for me. Though im still not sure where its coming from, my F4i definitely leaks when its revving over 10k rpm.. can anyone think of what may have caused it?

Yeah I considered that its only happening when you built up pressure but even a pin hole will force it out. Just another thing to consider with the pressure cap. Had a few cars that displayed coolant loss & the cap looked fine but the valve was not working.
One way to check is by immersing it in hot water & see if opens.
Hopefully its just a hose clamp that needs tightening

Take off your fairing and look for telltale signs of a leak. With coolant leaks, what ends up happening is that the coolant will dry rather quickly and typically will leave a trail of dried coolant residue from it's origin, unless it's dripping directly down from where it's leaking, in which case you will have to detect it as it occurs.
