2017 r1200gs radiator and engine cooling questions

Question.
I have poured over the microfish pics and cannot come up with the correct answer.
The two radiators, are they plumbed in series, or in parallel?
Does all water go to one radiator , then the other. Or does it split with each getting 50% of the water?
And where is the temp gauge sender unit mounted? Is it in the engine jacket? The outflow of the engine block? Just prior to the radiators?
For inquiring minds.
And yes, it does matter. I'm doing some research.

I can’t help you on your question but I can add a bit to your title for clarification.
Good luck.

Coolant goes in series thru LH radiator first then thru the RH side.
The temp sensor is right in the front of the cluster of pipes just behind the front shock, as is the thermostat.
