nice one thanks bud
be sure to buy yourself some of that super-coolant stuff those motocrossers use.......keep water from boiling over
you could try a cooler range spark plug ......masso

Just empty out the radiator coolant and pour in engine ice. No need to dilute and anything messy just pour it in and you will be amazed what a difference to engine temperature it makes.
First rule to remember is, always treat your bike, like you treat your women. Get on her five times a day and take her to heaven and back.

have you checked your water level and if low just fill to the top will distilled water and anti freeze. The fan should not be on all the time mate

No no no no - Distilled water is still very corrosive. What you're after is deionized water
