Just leave it alone, it's for expansion.
The rad can also draw it back in I expect.
It's unlikely to overflow and if it does it will probably just ooze out through an air breather pinhole.

Last time you checked it was the bike particularly hot or cold? It can have an effect. It's just an expansion tank for the cooling system, it should be between the upper and lower marks when the engine is cold(on level ground)

Ok, when it was low the bike engine was cold, and the pic above was straight after i got off it, so the engine was hot.

There is no min and max levels ?

There should be min and max levels on there somewhere. If it's not overheating just leave it and don't worry about it.
