Just did my first ride. Noticed anti freeze coming out the weep hole on bottom of water pump. Popped the radiator cap off and couldn’t see any antifreeze. Not to pumped. I went through and checked everything before riding and it took a few spins around yard shaking it down before hand. I’m stumped

A question for the dealer would be: Did it blow because it was defective, or was there excess pressure in the coolant system?
Sometimes if the seal is weak, it will blow out thru the seal instead of the spring pressure on the radiator cap.
A blown head gasket will cause excessive pressure in the coolant system, so I would ask them to check for that also.

Bike is sick though, honestly if your thinking of buying one, do it. Power is nuts, handles so well, very balanced bike.
I’m just happy it’s not as big of a issue as origanlly though. And Kawi support was awesome, ready to rip.
