put coolant in. bleed system (cap off, turn bike on for 3-5 mins letting air breathe out), turn bike off, let cool, fill with coolant, and repeat once or twice. if still having problems maybe new water pump, maybe flush radiator/coolant system, maybe new rad cap...
question is. what have you tried doing to fix this?

loose hose? hole in the radiator? loose radiator cap?
might just be overheating and steaming out through the vent. can't really diagnose anything based off of your description.

Could be a loose cap or mis adjusted cap. Mine was leaking last weekend. Let it cool, popped the cap off then popped it back on and it stopped.

check your coolant overflow res. sounds like maybe its leaking from there and then touching your exhaust pipe and smoking, just a thought..

Thanks a lot guys! I took a look under the bike and it appears that a hose feeding the radiator it's broken....Tomorrow I'll take off the plastics and cage to take care of the problem.
