Not sure if this really applies to this area, but I know that a good many of my friends in other locations wouldn’t run green or orange coolant typical to cars. Most of them would runs something like Water Wetter or 50 below. These are coolants that look more like water and they do not prevent freezing. The condition you are describing sounds a whole lot like an air pocket in the coolant system somewhere or a bad thermostat.

Did you get the bike from a dealer or private seller?

private seller.

I opened the rad cap and removed it…let the engine run from cold for 15 minutes to remove any air that may have been in the system…replaced the cap…ran it again…seemed to go back up again…
