wtf first the battery issue now i am running hott what could be wrong i am easy running at 240 and smell radiator fluid can anyone help is it my thermostat

Do you just turn it on and let it idle in the driveway to determine if its running hot?

well i did today cause yesterday it ran over 250 but i think it was cause the radiator cap wasnt all the way down but my fan only came on when i turned the engine off

sounds like an electrical issue...i had a problem with my radiator switch...i just grounded the fan and its always on

You need AIRFLOW to keep it cool. These things arn't designed to stay cool idling in the driveway.

Yes but the fan should kick on and keep it from overheating. If your fans not kicking on you have a problem.

+1 to the fans issue. Make sure there's no air in your coolant system as well. Temperature while cruising at a steady speed should be around 170-190... The temp will QUICKLY rise, on my bike, to 220ish in stop and go traffic or at stoplights, even on a cool day.

Same here...170-195 or so while riding....stop for any length of time and in the 200's....when I get to my house I'll let it idle while taking off my lid and gloves etc and it will almost always go to 220 plus (fan kicks in)



Normal?
