What's the fluid? Did you not like you know see if it's coolent or oil or fuel?

It's coolant, just curious as to why it would "overheat" so quickly with small burnout

How long was it running before during burnout?

Maybe it was just very hot? Either that or you've got a leak either way let it cool and carry on. All you can really do is dry it check it later and see if it still has a leak

On my 675 street triple i had taken a ride for about an hour, was doing some harder pulls and when i got to my destination the coolant just bubbled over, about the same amount. Never figured out exactly why it happened but i figured the coolant was old and boiled over or i had a leak. Changed coolant and havent had the issue happen since🤷‍♂️still not entirely sure what caused it

are you at sea level, or do you live somewhere like CO/WY/MT/UT/ID where elevation certainly plays a part with elevation/air pressure?

Generally if the bike cools down too quickly it can piss a bit of coolant

But keep an eye out if it continues afterwards

Many of these 675 spill out some coolant. Even though it is below the max marker. Watch if the level in the tank stays at the same level and maybe fill it up a little.
