as the title says my bike runs absolutely stupid hot and it gets there in a damn hurry. its a 92 btw. within only a few minutes of riding we have reached 6000 degrees of heat coming up between my legs. even the plastics are stupid hot to the touch. the temp gauge runs about 1mm under the red line. It has never overheated but the fan has also been hardwired to come on when ignition is turned on. Coolant is topped up and been changed, regular services etc well taken care of. I just need to find a way of getting this thing to run cooler cuz on hot summer days combined with the castrating temperature of this bike makes for a somewhat uncomfortable ride.

look forward to you input thanks.

 

Is your thermostat opening? You are full on coolant and the fan is on, so its gotta be a flow issue.

 

I'd start with the thermostat or radiator cap. Could be your head gasket or water pump also. Take a look at your oil. If it looks like mud it's the head gasket. When it's hot look at your coolant return tank. If its got bubbles in it then again head gasket.

 

+1 on the thermostat. I'd also check if your water pump is working properly
