Default i have a little problem with my coolant system any suggestions?

I did my own little stress test with my 94 zx6. I warmed it out than put it on a stand and strapped her down. I red lined it from 1st to 3rd and it did fine but some of the hose fittings started squirting out coolant. I let it cool down and i started back up and it was fine. Should i just replace all the hoses and fittings or do i have bigger problems. I dont what it could be because it only does it at high rpms, Thanx

Some thoughts. If the hoses are old and hard then you could replace them but give any clamps a nip up first. Thermostat may not be opening properly. Radiator and engine block may need flushing.

as mentioned, plan on a coolant flush, I prefer to change out hoses on an older bike, but yes the clamps may just need some tightening.
