ok,if it still does not seal,try wrapping the T piece with plumbers tape,this might give a better seal.PTFE tape.

lol im not into bodgeing new hoses T pieces n hose clips but i see where your comming from

I was talking about using ptfe tape on the Tpiece,just to try and give it a better seal,plus it is cheap to buy.The tape you suggest is more for using on the outside of pipes etc.but might be worth a try,if not put on to thickly,otherwise the pipe might not fit then.

not a bodge,just a way of giving a better seal.

whilst colour change does prove hgf non change doesnt disprove hgf/liner issue, i would check system works properly ie rad hot all over ,thermostat,water pump etc

yep think that the way to go, i get no over heating issues i did replace the water pump and check the stat not long after i got it all was good the water pump was however a **** part one ( i didnt know any better at the time) but the pump seems to be working just fine i did a test on it im gonna go get my laser thermo gun from my mate and check the rad all over for hot n cold spots just to be sure. if the problem persists i know i will have to pull the heads to prove or disprov hg failure or liner isssue
That happened shortly after I bought a Range Rover.

Left my side lights on in the car park all day (10 hours) that'll teach me for not topping up my washer fluid - I've got used to the angry beep when I turn my ignition off - but this time little did I know it was a "you've left your lights on you pillock" beep.
My heart sunk as I approached the car seeing the tail lights glimmering away. The central locking worked (good start.) I turned the lights off - and the ignition on - a twist of the key... and... Nnnnnothing bad happened - it started on the button as usual. Thank the lord for large capacity batteries!

Suzuki do make some stand out bikes to be fair but I know what you mean.. looks a tidy little bike that..
Never been a 'suki fan TBH, but went on a "Redtread" Spain tour in Jan, first time off roading and absolutely loved it.
Already got a sports bike but now £1500 worse off and another motor to join the fleet for when the RR doesn't work
