I had the same issue. The dealer said that they needed to replace the tank and the pressure cap. Apparently this is a known issue.

With the engine running, I could see the coolant being pumped out.

The bike is not overheating because the temp gage stayed at five bars and the fans are working,so is it possible that they overfill the tank.

Mine wasn’t overheating either. I know it wasn’t overfilled because I had checked the levels when I first got it.
