Could it be coolant mix? To much/little water vs anti freeze?

I was running 100% Silkolene Pro Cool

Am guessing the airlock created most of the issue and made a small one bigger. Glad you sorted it.

I confess, having always run 60/40 water/antifreeze I never had an issue with bikes. Only race bikes that run water only.

I've managed to get to the bottom of it.

Orginially I had an airlock, so that caused the rapid temp rise, sorted that and the temps seemed to run in the right range.
I have since had the throttle cables rub through the top of the rad ( see side note ), catching the first tube. So I have drained the system again, and removed the rad to fix that, whilst i was doing that i noticew the center of the rad was full of caked in mud stopping about 20% of the rad working. So i will be removing it again and getting a needle to remove all the crud in it.

Side Note:
Does anybody know the official fix for this, as there is a recall for it, but after checking with my local ducati dealer, they tell me it's been done and that they can't tell me the official fix in case i sue them.

2 Cableties crosswise are better
