I've been hearing a lot of the venting issues. I'll try popping the gas tank when I get the bike back from him.

I forgot to mention, this is a 49-state bike without the emissions garbage.

He hasn't mentioned the overheating since he mentioned it that day. I never did get a clear answer out of him about where the needle was that day--I still don't and it doesn't help when diagnosing over the phone. The coolant was between the two lines on the expansion tank, but I topped it off anyways.
