Ive had my gsxs750 15 for almost a year (5k+ miles) now but recently it sometimes leaks coolant from the overflow. I have no idea why it is happening. Anyone might have a clue?

How much coolant we talking about here? Does only due it when it gets really hot after a long ride? Or just after it reaches operating temp?

Small amount of coolant. It usually happens on short rides(happen twice so far). it happens when i park my bike. I went and checked the reservoir is right at full and the radiator is full of coolant.

You are 100% sure it is coming from the hose from the overflow tank correct? Is the overflow tank full when cold or when hot?
If you don't have a way to pressurize the system, then this is what i would do....
First i would try replacing the radiator cap, as it has 2 seals in it, 1 for pressure, and the other to go to the overflow tank. Could be a sending coolant to the overflow tank and it has to much in it / pressure so it releases some coolant. It would also be your cheapest fix and quickest.
Second not to steer you in the wrong direction, I would look into maybe a water pump seal, or a head gasket that is going bad.
The best thing to do is to get it pressurized. However if you are only talking a couple drops here and there and the engine is not overheating, I wouldn't worry to much about it. Just check your fluids periodically.
Hope this helps.

Mine leaked a few times while warming up last summer, then stopped.

I posted an issue where it happened all the time. Found out what was the root cause. A month later, this happened.
I bled the cooling system and issue solved. It has been 2 weeks and no more overflow.
