On a tour with some family members in SW Colorado and surrounding area, my 88,000 miles 94 ST1100 started vomiting coolant out of the expansion tank.
Bike and weather were not particularly hot, coolant level was checked about 2 weeks prior to the trip, bike was running fine.
Let it cool for 20 mins, refilled the expansion tank, let it idle for 10 mins, same thing happened.
About 20 mins later rode the bike over to a place where I could store it, no coolant came out.
Put it on the center stand, disconnected the fan, revved the knackers off it for about 3 mins until it got real hot, nothing came out.
I have 2 theories - let me hear yours, I will pick the bike up soon and get it home for either:-

- Easy fix
- Open heart surgery.
