So after everyride(6hours) my coolant is lower than it was the day prior.  After letting everything cool down over night the coolant has moved from the full line on the overflow to the low line on the overflow.  theres no dripping while running or puddles under it when parked over night.  i have never removed the head or cylinder(the 734bb kit in my sig is still sitting here waiting for something to break) so is it possible my head gasket is going bad?

Possible it over flowed while ridding?

Otherwise, pull your plug. if it was burning coolant you should see a noticable puff of smoke (white) through your exhaust. I believe it should leave a little build up on your plug as well.

12 o'clock wheelies and rollovers can make u loose coolant too. Just something else to check into.
