I had an occasional issue with the Street triple spitting coolant out when it was hot, so I thought I'd investigate. I purchased a new rad cap from Carl Rosners just in case that was throwing a hiss (pardon the pun Razz )... what I actually found was the return from to the bottom of the expansion tank was kinked so it was acting like a one way valve and not returning the coolant to the radiator. This is something I am sure WD will testify has caught out a few 1100 Pan European owners too.

Needless to say it will be going in for a new pipe under warranty when I return from Spain.

Worth a check.. if the routing is the same, which would not suprise me, the the expansion pipe doubles back on itself so only has to be tugged a little to kink it.

FYI. Carl Rosner fit new rad caps at 12,000 service apparently as they are considered by them at least as a service item.
