Hey guys I have a few questions and sorry if I'm not posting on the right page I tired looking for the right place to post, anyways I recently purchased an 06 750 for dirt cheap the reason I got it for cheap was because it was overheating and the previous owner did not want to deal with it. So here's the issue;
The bike starts right up and runs good only if I'm on the highway, once I hit the streets the temp rises quick the highest it went on me was at 230 I then got nervous and decided to let it cool so when I shut it off coolant began to spit out of the overflow hose and I'm not talking about dripping I mean a decent stream came out. I added coolant and it didn't take much kinda seemed like it was full So I did some research and decided to flush the cooling system and replace the thermostat. When I flushed the coolant not much came out which baffled me because when I would top it off it wouldnt take much like if it was full any thoughts?
Second question; this may sound dumb but do 2006 gsxr 750 have thermostats? I removed the gas tank and removed the thermostat housing and there was not thermostat, didn't think much of it just figured the previous owner removed it and ran it like that which is why I thought it was overheating anyway I began to look online and I couldn't find any thermostats for a 2006 gsxr 750 I'm extremely confused if anyone could help me it would be much appreciated, thanks in advance
