Help! Bike overheated! I wish this was going to be a post about how well the bike was riding (cuz it was!) We just picked the bikes up from winter storage.. while there.. the 12 had it's 10K service (valve lash etc)... anyways... got the bike home.. stopped... friggin coolant reservoir is boiling like a kettle... coolant dumps itself out of the overflow.. fan was on for a while, temp gauge showed 3/4 .. nowhere near overheat .. .what gives!>!>!?!
anyways.. they are on their way to pick up the bike (sans any coolant)....
any thoughts.. .I thought pinched hose or nfg temp sender...

the cooling system wasnt bled when they drained it for it's tune up... they came out and fixed it, bled it and it's fine...
good thing people dont diagnose things over the internet!

I would have said temp sensor on the Radiator.... Mine went bad the first month I had bike....... I put a manual fan switch on now never have to worry about it again.... Sensor goes out flip switch and ride home.... Also flip it on at the strip will help cool it sitting there..... Turn fan on anytime....

The dealer never started the bike and let it warm up to make sure it never had a vapour lock??Overheating is not good for any motor,what dealer did your service??
