It is normal for the reservoir tank to read lower when the bike is cold than it does when the bike is warmed up, even a little below the "min" mark. Is you oil level going up as you ride, or does you oil look milky and foamy? That would mean you are truly losing coolant into the oil, which would mean bad water pump seals or maybe a leaky head gasket.

i had a leak once that would only leak when it was right warmed up and i was under heavy throttle. wash your bike real well then see if you can find a leak after riding it. Also you can check if its comin out the tp of the resevoir you could be getting exhaust pressure in the cooling system but if its doin that you feel coolant all over your leg when your moving.
