I have a bit of a strange issue. When I was top speed testing on a local rural road I ducked down behind the fairing and was greeted with a light mist of coolant to my face shield. I took the bike home and there was coolant all over the inside of the right side of the fairing around the cap. I took off the fairing and let her get good and hot idling and under part throttle and I could not reproduce the leak...absolutely dry! It was clear that coolant had been leaking in that area for some time but all the hose junctions and the cap were leak free

Is there a condition where the bike would only leak coolant at max speed? Or perhaps leaking very slowly and I only notice when the high wind blasts it onto my shield.

Thanks
