Default anti freeze problem

it is shooting the anti freeze out of the little white bottle and then it will start to smoke white smoke. is this the head gasket or what could it be? also i found the hose that runs from above the screw where you drain the anti freeze out was popped off from the top part of it so i put it back on and noticed it didnt ahve any anti freeze in it and then i filled it up and then it ran good then started smoking white smoke out of the baffle and anti freeze was coming out where the pipe connects by the head.

Sure does sound like head gasket. Combustion chamber pressure is getting into the cooling system, causing the coolant to come out of the overflow reservoir and maybe the hose to pop off?

Do a search on "engine ice". That is what I use. I think it may allow the bike to run a little bit cooler.

Sounds like your head gasket. I just went through the same thing.

Your leak definately sounds more severe than mine was. Mine would only spew coolant out the weephole at high RPM. I was not getting any white smoke either. Are you using a stock head gasket or aftermarket? High compression piston, or stock?
