My first thought is radiator cap. I never had a water cooled bike but on a car radiator cap will open and let the water go to the reservoir tank at a certain pressure. The cap could be allowing the water to run to the plastic tank at to low psi and when the tank fills up it starts spilling out..
Worst case scenario is I am afraid that you might have a cylinder head gasket that has developed a leak into the water system. Run the car (Cold) with the radiator cap off and see if water and air bubbles out of the filler.
If the radiator is leaking, put a bottle of radiator stop leak in it,fill it up the rest of the way with water, tighten cap, and run in idle for 15 to 30 minutes. If the leak is severe or one bottle doesn't work, use two bottles of stop leak and run for 35 minutes.
If it's the radiator cap that's leaking, replace the cap with a new one. Also check to make sure there are no loose cooling hoses.
Safety first: Use extreme caution to never remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot, severe burns from escaping hot water could result.
can't necessarliy automatically blame the water pump, check entire cooling system related components , check air flow through radiator and condensor, often overlooked and plugged with bugs and road debris, check all hoses for condition especially for a collasped bottom hose due to your opening system to R&R thermostat... you may have to bleed air from your system ... check coolant condition for specific gravity.. clogged internally radiator, check flow with cap off engine cold pressure relieved watch flow to see when thermostat is opening... should have increased contant flow. check belts for proper tension and condition.
My friend had a 1999 taurus and had the same problem, his coolant would leak from around the overflow bottle because the system was backing up. His problem was a partially plugged radiator. I know this probably isnt the news you wanted to hear, but I'm pretty sure thats going to be your problem. sounds like you've replaced everthing else short of the radiator and water pump. Good thing is i remember him saying it was reasonalbly priced, so good luck.
