Welcome Slipstream I'm not really conversant with the later model 750s but I'd imagine all the bleed nipples would be obvious.
How much hotter does it run just a few degrees or is it more substantial, i ask because if you've swapped from a coolant to distilled water that wouls make a slight difference.

I really doubt it is an air block.
Just a thought, you have mixed 50/50 distilled water and coolent?
If you only put straight coolant in it will run hotter as it is designed to be diluted to suit different climates - you only need pure coolent if you live on a Greenland ice pack.

If might be an air lock, try squeezing the large bore coolant hoses when the engine'e warm - that may pump the air out.
