Bike Consistently Overheating

I recently bought an Fz1 and I've been having trouble with overheating. I changed the coolant and oil to see if that would fix anything, but that didn't fix anything. I took it for a test ride after, and the Bike got to about 230f and spilled coolant after riding for about 15 min and after stopping the bike and turning it off, the coolant spilled again. Does anyone have any idea of what's going on. My current suspicion is that air is getting into the coolant system somewhere, but I don't know how to check for that. There could also be a blockage somewhere, but again I don't know how to check for that.


Some other notes
  • Coolant level surges when the throttle is open and the radiator cap is off (I think this is an indication the water pump is working)
  • Oil & coolant seem clean and probably aren't mixing
  • Fans come on at their normal temp but it doesn't help cool the bike much
