Whoa! That's nuts. How did it get cracked?

Definitely do NOT ride without the tank. Coolant will all get pumped out, and you'll overheat your engine.

Hey guys, same thing happened today on my 2013. I can't see if there is a crack but coolant was on the top of the wheel. All I know it happened as I turned it on today but nothing on the garage floor where it was seating. Will bring it to the dealer still under warranty.
