Just purchased a used bike for the first time. I've been lucky enough to buy new, but decided this looked like a clean bike(17 hours). Bike was on in the garage for 3-5 minutes to warm oil for a change and started boiling coolant out the over flow and one of the lower tubes that connects to the bottom of the radiator.
Has anyone had this experience? Just overheating because there was no airflow? My 250f never did this. Bigger issue I should look into?
Before I bought the bike I ran it for a little while, but was moving.

I flushed the radiators and ended up going with engine ice. I also checked for bubbles as recommended and only saw vibration in the fluid so hopefully all is good with the head gasket.
I never had this issue with my Yamaha's so I freaked out. Chalking this one up as a dumb mistake.
