Firstly, How well does the bike run ?

Secondly I dont know alot about the dna, but from general knowledge i would say if it is definatly antifreeze/coolant, then you may have a blown head/ base gasket or a cracked head/ cylinder.
If it is one of these it is only a small leak or crack, when the engine is reved the water pump goes faster & the coolant gets hotter, putting more presure on the leak, causing it to blow coolant from the leak.

Hopefully this has helped, if anything got your forum post back to the top of the list.

Are you sure its coolant, and not moisture?

Most engines give off moisture or steam from the exhaust in the cold weather. To do with hot exhaust gases.
Is it a 2-stroke? If so, could be oil? Or if its a 4 stroke, could be moisture mixed with soot / carbon / rust / shite from the exhaust.

How does it run? Does the coolant level go down?
