No coolant in radiator head gasket replacement

[Lobo_2002]

Has anyone had a stuck closed thermostat? Bike over heated in the middle of nowhere. Ran it hot for about 10 miles before I stopped at small gas station. Thermostat side of radiator was colder than the other side fan didn't kick on, temp was at 120F on radiator but the engine over heated. Wated for it to cool, pulled out the thermostat and boiled it with my porta stove. Thermostat didn't open, ok, well now I need to get home. I cut the spring valve mechanism on the Thermostat and left the gasket bit. I poured some coolant in. The bike didn't overheat for many months. This morning the bike over heated. No coolant in the system. Oil didn't look milkshake. I poured some more coolant in when the bike cooled, started it up and the coolant is bubbling with the cap off the radiator. So has anyone had to do a head gasket job on their RX4 yet? Just wanted to share my story. 2020 RX4, I bought it new.
