I've had a bit of coolant overflow before having the ECU Flashed. It was in really hot weather and the bike had been ridden a little harder than usual. Now with the flash, the fans kick on earlier than stock so the bike stays cooler than before and I haven't had any coolant overflow since. I wouldn't worry about it as the overflow tube is there for a reason. I'd say it's perfectly normal.
 
What temps are your bikes at after you ride awhile and the bike is in traffic? My bike is running just over 200, @203 in traffic at ambient temps in the 80's.
