Well bad news, she did it again while cruising around town last night.

I decided to pull over in a parking lot and address my beeping cell phone. While replying to a text I figured I would leave the bike on to test the over heating issue.

Slowly go up to about 226, and the outside temp is maybe 70? It was a cool evening. Bike was definitely not being run hard, but I was going from stop light to stop light around town.

The bike started boiling out around that temp and I figured I would let it keep going to see what it would do and if it was only a minor issue. The temp continued on up to 230 where is was definitely not going back down with the fan on at full speed.

I figured this was getting good and decided to get the bike rolling and within seconds of cruising in 1st gear the temp came soaring down.

Gonna pull the fairing off today and address the issue. Maybe T stat or something that might have been damaged when it was layed down on its right side? Might even have an air bubble or two, will try to bleed it today.

Ideas, thoughts?
