When cruising down the highway, needle reads just past 1/4. Would not start to heat up until "city" like driving. I get it home and starts to puke when needle is just past halfway. I bought the log orings along with the thermostat oring of course. I may track down a radiator cap as well. Also, decided to give the radiator a flush.
To answer the bike year, it is a 98 and I've got 52,xxx on the clock.
Jim I'm pretty certain I burped the system. I also burped up by the thermostat. The coolant was fresh from the water pump install.
Thanks for all the help!
