[QUOTE="joedrum, post: 3041, member: 98"] i dont think that that is enough flow but it could be deceiving with the tstat in there id take it out theres no logical reason to have it in there till it proves it can run cool. that being said. with it out you can test without it being involed and maybe nail down for sure if ther is a problem on the suction side. the whole idea that you can run the bike and it hangs in there makes me think this is a fixable deal. iwould still hook up garden hose and flush that motor reverse flow and forward flow for an afternoon. it might not be air pocket as much as a restriction of flow that causes an air pocket. maybe fill the motor with some krud busting solvent over night or days. with the plugs out and seeing bad flow is a good sign to me. i'd throw everything i could think of to clean all pathways of the cooling system. i would redo the test of flow without tstat and if flow peters out then its got to be some sort of restriction in the system.
