August 8, 201214 yr check if fan is working ,check impella on water pump for damage (make sure it turns when engine turns ) , check correct plug fitted , check brakes not sticking , check head and replace o rings or gasket which ever it has ,also make sure radiator core is clean and sound ,check colour of plug to ensure not running lean
August 9, 201214 yr Had the same thing back in the 90's with a 350. It was a faulty radiator pressure cap, the rubber seal had failed allowing pressure to escape hence the system overheated really easily. I changed the cap (after trying everything else) and that sorted it. Take a good look at the cap before you do anything else, it won't cost you anything to look if it's ok. Pete
August 9, 201214 yr Overheating is a common complaint on that bike. Check all components and change to Evans coolant.
