1 Coolant and Starting Issues Tue Jun 18, 2013 10:59 pm

Every time I have my bike on for more than 10 minutes, the coolant reserve starts boiling over, blowing off the little silicone cap, and spilling the coolant everywhere. Also, my bike now has a difficult time starting--it seems like the battery is fine, but the engine just doesn't catch. These problems all started on the same night after work. In addition to these issues, oil started leaking on the tailpipe, causing smoke. When it wouldn't start initially, I had the clutch on, and tried revving it over and over--so I was wondering if I had somehow flooded it, and the oil leak was because of that somehow. Anyways, I am traveling to Argentina in two weeks, and don't have much money to spend on fixing it, so any advice would be much appreciated!
