So i was riding on tuesday for about three hours mostly skills training in a parking lot on the road for about a hour just rural areas, bike was fine i ran the bike the next day turned on the choke and forgot to take it off i rode for probably 30 mins with it on then noticing my coolant was leaking from my bike at a fast rate pulled over noticed my choke was on then turned it off continued on my way... About 10mins after i came to a slowing stop and it started to pour liquid out again and i mean it was really coming out but the thing when i was moving it didnt seem
To leak at all and tuesday the bike was completely fine. No i did not fill it recently im a learner and bought the bike about 2 months ago.

Any help would be hugly apreciated.

Overheated, coolant spilled out the expansion bottle overflow.

The choke has no bearing on the coolant system.

From the top most lightly first

Cooling fan not working stock fuse or switch

Head gasket failed

Radiator blocked most lightly with dirt on the outside

Thermostat stuck

Water pump failed

Well, stuck choke means rich mixture, rich mixture means lower engine temp. Wink

Oil cooler seals could be another cause.
