Thanks Cruiser! Looks like a good online source to get parts.
I may not need the thermo right now after all...went into the garage to remove it and was just about to drain the coolant I put in yesterday. When I thought to myself "let's check the radiator level again and make sure that I got all the air out". Well...there was room to add more and yes I needed to burp it again. Ran the scooter until the upper and lower hoses were warm...tells me that the thermo opened and I had good flow. Anyway, ran it for a bit and the fan came on when the gauge got to the halfway mark. I let er run for about 15 minutes and the water temp got up to the 3/4 mark. I guess this is ok since it was just idling and there was very little air flow going across the radiator (other than the fan). Much better than last Monday night while riding home in 50 degree weather and was pegging the H on the gauge!
I got all the panels off...may as well replace my vacuum hoses and fuel lines while I'm in there.
