I'd rather ride a Hayabusa on three cylinders than throw my leg over an outdated ZX11 dinosaur.

Ok I have a new name for my bike. DAMIEN. I just got home, have a new tow bill. I was riding it down town here for summerfest and I was greeted with a POP and then the distinct pleasure of full temperature engine coolant spraying on my left leg. I don't know whether to feel really unlucky about all the crap that is going wrong with this bike or really glad that I haven't been going at speeds where I would die if this crap happened. I managed not to drop the guy that had a good time this time which I think is admirable seeing as how my first response to scalding liquid is to jump the hell out of the way. I am starting to think that someone up there is trying to tell me to get rid of this bike.

I am assuming that I popped a coolant hose from the amount of liquid that was coming out. I am not dealing with this poop anymore.
My leg is burning like hell still and I am temped to drive the damn thing right through the dealer window. Why me?

Maybe it was a curse laid on you by slippie,slappy,uh slush puppy!! Who got FLAMED now? You Freak!!! Feel the BURN???I'm sure your local dealer will sell you a ZX-11 before that Zuke kills you. If your lucky they might even give you $6000.00 on a trade in for that lemon you ride now!! :-) Brian

I got rid of my piece O poop before it killed me. Thats what you get for buying a first year new model. Ive learned my lesson also. Being the first to get something new isnt always a good idea.

It sounds like you got screwed by the service dept at the dealership that sold you the bike. I had to wait an extra hour during setup of the bike so they could pressure test the coolant system. The tech told me they had a service advisory of problems with the connections/crimps/orings in the coolant system.
