Not necessarily boiling. Small pockets of air can expand pushing antifreeze back toward the expansion tank. This is usually caused by blocked radiator cores or fins reducing the heat transfer to the air.
These engines are designed to run hot for efficiency. Plus, the layout of the bike restricts the size of the radiator. This means that the cooling has to be at maximum efficiency to handle the heat, especially in warm weather. That means that the coolant needs to be at the recommended 60/40 ratio, the thermostat has to be working properly, and most important, the radiator and the passages need to be scrupulously clean both inside and out in the case of the radiator.
With bikes as old as ours there is the chance that at some point in the past someone may have put hard water, possibly well water in the cooling system. This will coat everything with calcium, insulating the water from the engine components it needs to cool. Also, with a lot of miles on the clock, the radiator has passed through a lot of bugs and dirt. Air flow can be drastically reduced by blocked fins. It is always a good idea to remove the radiator on a "new" bike to clean out the fins as part of establishing a maintenance baseline. This is especially true with K100's because of the higher output of heat from four cylinders.
