Another thing to check is the bypass passage from the pump to the themo housing. I had to drill one out it was so blocked. Because of the angled passage, that involves drilling out the alloy plug. I tapped it and put a short bolt in to reseal it.

Cliff has pointed me towards a test kit that checks coolant for exhaust gasses that might be my next move. I'll be watching to see what you find.
I converted the Celsius temps to Fahrenheit AND Your bike's temperature gauge is seemingly accurate.

230F is still in the acceptable range.

All better, plug on fan had a bad hook up. Put some miles on her in town, up to 80 mph, all well.

Need to fix horn, but other than that, she is ready after her 10 year nap.
