Does it leak all the time or only when the bike is running?

Ya know and this is funny.I got my machine its a 03 for 4000 dollars cuz the guy said it had a hole in the radiator which got me posting.But the good news was that it was just the calmp..Try looking at the stock hose clamps on the right side on top of radiator.Im guessing your hose is a bit rounded out and needs a clippin and a new hose clamp.But youll need to take off all the fairings anyhow to check for more leaks.

It doesnt really leak all that much i only noticed after i had been riding, and like if i go out in the morning and get in my car i dont see anymore leaking so i guess its only when i ride.

yea likely a loose hose...heat will expand and increase pressure in the cooling system, so any loose hose clamps will cause a leak.
check to make sure you still have coolant though.

im taking a guess that u put a small hole in the radiator. Go check to see if your brake lines are still bolted to the front fender. IF not then they are smacking the radiator and put a small hole. If not the u may have stressed one of the tabs on the mount and it split open. LEt me know what you find. Look at the radiator and look for some holes. IT's a cheap easy fix. Go to auto zone or whatever auto parts store is nearby and get this stuff called "Quick steel" knead a piece up with your fingers and puch it on over the hole. it will stop the leak after it drys.
