Turns out the puddle wasn’t a puddle

The mighty klr250 and I went for a swim myself and the bike went completely under before this picture 😂

Swapped coolant hoses

So I posted here recently about some cooling issues I've been having with a 1999 I bought recently. I want to state, the bike was like this when I bought it, and it is my first KLR so I'm just noticing this issue today, after over 500 miles of riding, two oil changes, and two coolant changes. I also replaced the thermostat, and checked the impeller bolt.

Am I correct that the coolant hoses are not running to the correct ports?

If so, what kind of damage did this bike take over the last 500ish miles?

I'm kind of in awe, if it is in fact the case that these hoses are switched.

1st gear everything is going fine and normal up until 4th gear once I get to 55 mph the rpms stop at 5k when I shift up to 5th they drop down to 4k and slowly the speed began to fade to 50 is this normal 98' behavior I cleaned the carb and that when I started noticing this
