A week ago maybe a little less then a week i noticed my bike at a red light was getting to temps of about 221 degrees. I checked my coolant of course it was low and i noticed what i think to be an overflow tube that seemed to maybe be leaking the coolant because my Underfairing was wet. So today i check my coolant and its low agian almost back to where i started, Is this Normal??
What could be the issue?

I am going to guess that there is/was air in your system and when you added coolant you did not bleed the system and that is what is causing you to lose coolant

maybe you have a leak in the radiator take it off run a water test should be able to tell pretty quick.
Just my 2cents which is really like 1

225 is normal? i've never been above 200 even in heavy traffic.

225 is HOT!! Witch ASK touched your bike? I wont go there. ShittyGSXR is probably right, bet it just need more coolant. Get a service manual and do that shit yourself, its easy.

225 is a normal peak temp for a twin (idling in the summer at stoplights - with the eFans on), probably not an I4 bike.

+1, the r6 was the first coolant change i ever did and no problems so far.
