coolant hose blowout

Lemieuxfan said:

bike was just in the shop and mechanic mentioned topped off on coolant as was low. Started the bike yesterday and let it run for a little while to warm up. After a few minutes heard liquid spewing looked down and the coolant was pouring out- shut off bike and had it towed to dealership. Hopefully nothing major maybe just a hose kit needing replaced

Those are overflow/vent hoses. Take it from someone who just had a coolant line burst... you're fine.
Edit: My burst coolant hose story from a month ago is here: Blew a coolant line

perhaps your rad cap needs replacement, might explain why it lost fluid before and had to be topped up, and then lost more after topping up
