Yes, open the radiator cap and fill the radiator to the top with coolant. You can also tilt the bike from side to side, and add more coolant if the level drops.

The easiest way to top off the overflow bottle is to remove the overflow hose from the radiator, insert a small funnel in the hose, and pour coolant into the funnel.
