the engine show no temp at all, stay cold or the needles move just a little bit almost stay at C (cold)

after a day of riding , i opened the hood and notice there is no pressure in the RADIATOR hose !!
so i opened the cap right away and there was no splash , nothing ,
but the fluid was full....

so i put my finger in the radiator notice the fluid it was almost cold....

does anyone know s if its related to the thermostat , like its stay close ?

should be one old thermostat , may need replacement..
