i recently rebuilt my YFZ, its runs strong before i strted riding it i added more anit-freeze because i lost some on the rebuild from taking off the coolant lines i filled the radiator, i think i t was coming out the top of it and i filled the rezzy, i spilt some on the rad. when filling it and when i started it up it steamed from the spilt fluid on the rad. I ran it practice with it and race it and i have been smelling anti-freez its not leaking out anywhere nor is the white smoking coming out of the exhaust, im stumped all i have notice it my rezzy is low., can anybody help me with this one

May have a tad bit leaking by your gasket and sitting on top of your piston. Once it does that it'll burn off through the exhaust and that could be what you're smelling.

Coolant leaking anywhere can be a problem. That's not an exact problem of what it is but that's something that it could be. Crank the bike and check around the motor to make sure there is no leakage anywhere.

If its burning up in the cylinder usually it will be indicated on the spark plug and a white ashy looking material..check you plug

You can also pull the header off and turn the engine over. If that's the problem you'll see it spit out of the exhaust port.

Did you try pulling the exhaust header off and turning the motor over?

I pulled the head pipe off and cranked the engine over and NO anti-freeze came out of the head , i also pulled the spark plug and there was signs of anti-freeze burning on the plug it was black and smelled like turbo blue. The other day i was ridin it and rode it pretty hard racing a car and when i got back to my brothers house my rezy was empty so i put more anti-freze in the rad. which only took like 3 shot glasses to fill it up and i filled the rezzy and its been fine so far havnt rode it that hard since.
