Try filling the radiator,leave the cap off while running at idle,add fluid as needed,when fan kicks on a lot of air is removed and level usually drops,keep topping off radiator and let fan cycle on and off several times,replace cap, top off coolant bottle and then ride and see if ok. Any air at all in the system will cause it to bubble out coolant bottle and can cause problems. Just food for thought! OPT

Also on a 700 sometimes the water pump will only leak when the engine is running at higher RPM.
Since it is only leaking when you are riding at higher speeds you are never aware it is leaking.
After you refill the coolant exactly as described above look at the weep hole while you hold the engine RPM up to check for leaks.
Sometimes it comes out is such a small stream it is hard to see.
