let me just break down what i did . . . and i appreciate your help ??? i will hook you up with a courtesy reach around.
1. actually put the coolant in the radiator, filled it up all the way.
2. left radiator cap off and started bike. let run for about 1 minute. watched fluid go down. filled back up to the top.
3. took bike for ride. about a mile. no overheat.
4. smoked a bowl. let bike cool down to recheck coolant.
5. rechecked coolant, had to fill up a bit more.
6. checked reservoir, discovered that it was filled to the brim.
7. this is where i am now
i have nothing to syphin out the excess coolant. i herd it wont hurt the bike?
and whats up with having air in your radiator. bleeding it? where do i stand in your book right now. besides as an idiot.

if you can get to the bottom of the tank just take the hose off and let it drain till its down to the full line.
it won't hurt the bike to be over filled, but it will overflow when it gets warm, which some bikes have the overflow hose right down in front of the back tires. which seems stupid to me, but I've had them overflow and haven't crashed from it. so guess its not that bad.
if you can't find any other way. just use paper towells to soak up the extra water. I've done this with stuff before.
the air is from the leak. water leaks out, air takes its place. everything does it. your normal and don't over think it.

bike has been running fine since my last post. ive riding about 50 miles since then.
i haven't had a chance to pull the fiarings off again to check to see how full the resavor is right now. i havent seen it overflow at all so im assuming its still full.
