Default 2011 nightrod coolant keeps overflowing the bottle! need help.

I noticed one day the temp light came on but only for a minute then went back off. over a few trips it happened more. I checked the system and it seemed to have air in it. bled it and ran the bike through a couple heat cycles in the garage with no issues. go ride to work 20 miles maybe and the bottle is full and overflowing. open fill cap on system and air purges out. seems to only happen while riding. fans cycle normally, no coolant in oil. while sitting still with my laptop plugged into the power commander all temps rise and fall as they should with fans on and off as they should. im stumped at this point.....
thanks for your time.
