That **** is ******* crazy... sounds just like mine. If you fond anything out, tell me. we pretty much have the same bike just different sizes.

well your fan doesn't come on tell around 220-230

so that means if your bike is running normal, your frame should get hot enough to burn you..................


Get some gauges on your bike though, how do you know if your oil pump fails? Or if you cooling system is working???
