sounds like it might need bleeding of air, there are 3 bleeding points on a vts,
1) right side of radiator at top little plastic cap
2) left side of engine a little valve cap thing
3) 5mm allankey bolt in thermostat housing
all 3 need too be bleed in that order untill all air and bubbles are out and top up your header tank as u go, check 4 leaks after

Yeh I had this problem to, the temp needle sits just over 3/4...
What my mate did was undid the valve cap, and the allen key bolt, filled the engine coolant to the top and then blew through the engine coolant till water shot out the valve cap...Seemed to do the trick, not sure if its recommended though...

you got a leak anywhere?are you getting moisture out of your exhaust? if so you may need the head skimming
