You're probably overfilling the reservoir if you are checking with bike on the centre stand. In that case it will vent out the excess as you ride. The coolant should be checked as described in the manual.
1. Place your motorcycle on a firm, level
surface.
2. Hold your motorcycle in an upright
position.
3. Check that the coolant level is between
the UPPER and LOWER level marks in the
reserve tank.
Nothing more complicated than that - if you are constantly adding whilst the bike is leaned over on the centre stand then the excess will be thrown out as you ride and the next time you check the level will have dropped. Just set the level right and then check it after a while to see if you are still losing coolant. Check as advised already that there are no loose connections just to be safe but I think that if you stop overfilling it that will solve the issue.

OK... I'll check it at temperature and fill it to "between the lines" (not OVERFILL) and then just check it now and then.
I didn't think I was OVERFILLING it, but that would explain why the level goes down. If it self-levels below what I put in, that would account for it going down all the time.
I regret the dead battery post and hope never to repeat.
thank you for taking the time to answer thoughtfully.
I am riding... and will concentrate on that!
