First off, did you bleed the air out of the system? The 900 must be bled after the cooling system is opened.
The stock thermostat is 89C. It is possible that the thermostat you got is defective - I've gotten bad parts out of the box before. Not common, but it does happen. As much as it's a pain, you might try pulling the thermostat out and sticking it in a pan of water on the stove. Use a candy thermometer to measure the temperature. Bring the heat up slowly, and you should see the thermostat open at 89C (the temperature is usually printed on the thermostat). If it opens at a higher temperature, get another one.
Good luck!
