Yes, if you haven't bled the engine as described above yet. If you have done, then perhaps not.
To recap: Take the radiator cap off. Start the engine and run it until the thermostat opens - ie you can feel very hot water coming along the top hose and into the radiator. Check, by looking into the top of the radiator, that there is a spurt of coolant coming from the small pipe that runs from the "tower" between the carburettors when you rev the engine. Continue to run the engine like this with the radiator cap off for, say, 20 minutes. Periodically rev the engine and periodically top up any lack of coolant to the top of the radiator filler. You will find that the coolant level rises and falls as you rev the engine. When you have finished, and there is definitely no more air coming out of the system, put the radiator cap back on.
Subsequently you will find that if you check the coolant level with the engine cold the level will be one to two inches down. This is normal. If you check it with the engine hot (mind the pressure release) then it should be pretty well full. That is why most people fit an expansion tank. The clue is in the name.
