tall wheelies and leaking coolant on f4i

ive latley been having coolant from the reserve tank coming out the overflow when riding wheelies...

anyone else have this problem with this on the f4i ?

and for those that do 12's, any problems with the bike running at that angle ?

mine leaks all the time, actually i'm not sure if it leaks or overheats but there is always coolant all over my swingarm and the coolant reserve is always empty. but the rad. is always full when i check it so i don't sweat it.

the bike runs fine @ 12 and fine on the bar too. although it could starve (not pick up oil) pretty fast on the bar i guess.

on my 929 mine leaks when teh bike is on the left side, it comes from the resevour. the caps aren't exactly leakproof.

and i put about 1/2 quart more oil in my bike for 12's just ot make sure. haven't had a problem yet.

my 1000 eats anti freeze like crazy. I think it's my head gasket though. No to good considering it's only 5 months old. I guess it didn't like those 2 minute rev limiter burnouts i did.

Mine leaks when it get s hot, and when I do wheelies. I don't even bother running coolant in the reserve anymore, radiator level hasn't gone down yet. just say F-IT!
