I am noticing a problem with my bike after I have been on longer rides (> 30 miles). Short distances I have no problems. And on the longer rides I don't have any problems until I start getting into stop and go type of conditions which usually is at the end of my rides.
The temperature gage stays pretty steady around the little white thermometer. But as soon as I hit regular street traffic and lights, it will start inching towards the red zone. Several times, I am left with fluid spewing out of the overflow hose after stopping.
The fan kicks on after riding and I can hear the air flow. But I don't know if it every kicks on (or even if it is supposed to) when I am riding and it starts getting that hot.
Right now the only thing I can think of trying is flushing the coolant system.
Anyone ever do this? Any other hints or clues?
Thanks
