Default bike hot or not?

2005 EC200 with Flatland guards, LTR impeller. One rad was tweaked a little before the brace but not bad.

I'm dual-sporting the bike to the trails and noticed more coolant in the overflow bottle. I don't see any coolant on the ground. The motor seems to be at normal operating temps. I can touch the motor so it can't be that hot. Doesn't smell hot. I do ride one gear higher to keep the noise down. I replace the water pump seal last year and added coolant.

Maybe I need to get that water pump spinning more. Maybe I added to much coolant. Maybe the thermostat is bad. I'm not sure on the carb settings...so don't ask.

Should I be worried?
