Question No heat

Well not no heat as it's more like not enough. She just isn't getting warm. I have to idle for about 30 mins and then I have heat but if I go riding it's gone. Like thermostat down to around 110-130. I have a 50/50 mix in it so I know the coolant isnt the issue. Help me please. Winter here is so cold

If your temp gauge never gets up to normal operating temp (195 degrees), then your thermostat is probably stuck in the open position. At idle, the engine will warm up a little, but once moving, the air flowing through the radiator will cool it down again.

I had the same thing happen 2 days ago. Thermostat was stuck fully open. Replaced the thermostat last night and now I have heat again!
