How much is it leaking, and does it leak more at higher revs, also does it leak when hot or cold or both ?

Does it gush out or does it drip.

Check the valve in the rad cap, this is some advice I got last week and hey presto.......sorted.

Check that the seal is properly in place onthe cap. Then run the bike for a while and see if the flow from the pipe stops, it's likely that this is simply the coolant finding it's correct level.
