There is no mass flow meter on a 4u2, in any case a mass flow meter only controls fuelling not coolant temperature. The coolant temperature on the 4u2 is controlled primarily by the thermostat and the radiator.
Some Suzukis and a bunch of motorcycles.

Rhinoman,
The top hose from the thermostat to the radiator warms up slowly from cold eg there wasn't a sudden change in temperature.
I couldn't see water circulating as I took the rad cap off the water level was half way up the neck of the short neck that the cap fits on. When I started the engine the water gradually started to expand and slightly spill over as it got warmer. I assume that was caused by the air in the water expanding.
Just a thought. Should the cold water level be so high?
I thought it was supposed to just be above the top of the internal fins?
I would appreciate your thoughts,
Been

I think that's OK, from what I remember the remote reservoir is higher than the rad cap
