Coolant consumption

Hey guys, I'm wondering if anyone else is noticing coolant consumption, but no signs of BHG. My bike has never ran hot, but I have to refill my coolant reservoir every couple weeks.

How is your oil level and color? Maybe you have a leaking water pump seal.

Have you noted any coolant in the belly pan? If so, and the engine is not overheating, then maybe a bad radiator cap.
 
Is this all street riding or track?
I only ride mine on track and I go thru coolant pretty quick. I'm pretty sure it's coming out of the over flow at lean.
It's always gone through lot of coolant after over a year of at least two weekends a month on track.
No over heating, I've never noticed anything around the cap, and no issues with the engine.

Pretty much all street riding, with a few really aggressive rides on the weekends. Oil looks fine. I have the high pressure radiator cap. I actually filled the reservoir up to the over flow. It's been emptied in about two weeks. I don't see traces of coolant in oil at all. I'll check the torques on the head bills when I do the valve adjustment, I guess, just in case.
