NC30 heating up quickly

Hey all,

So I have this NC30 that I just got, and it has a bunch of issues I have to work out. One thing I noticed, however, is that it seems to get hot really quickly. After a cold start, idling for 2 minutes (on 3 cylinders even, that's one of those issues...) is enough to feel the thermostat on the right-hand side becoming hot to the touch. Is that normal? I'm pretty sure on my NC23 it takes a lot longer before the hoses/rad becomes noticeably hot, but I have no experience with '30s.

I took the cap off and there's definitely flow right away, so maybe the thermostat is stuck open?

30s run quite warm its a tight engine in a tight thick alloy frame which absorbs quickly, also the seat area gets warm from the reg rec
