engine temp overview

when i first got this bike it ran hot,,i read of other people on here who said the same thing, but they all had less then a thousand miles ,,i put a brock ceramic pipe on n a p/c,,that helped alittle,,i put water wetter n engine ice in the cooling system n that helped a little,,i even added a second fan,,THE PROBLEM WITH THIS BIKE WAS,,THERE WAS NO PROBLEM,,THE ENGINE WAS TIGHT,,N THE EXTRA FRICTION MADE IT HEAT UP,,NOW IT HAS 5500 MILES,,N RUNS REAL COOL,, i believe it takes 5000 miles to loosen this bike up right,,it was hard to shift,,hit false neutrals into 6th,,,now it shifts cherry,no false neutrals,, it was 114 here a couple days ago,,i was going through traffic when the first fan turns on,,i hit the second fan switch,,it never goes over 1 block above the middle with 2 fans,,,with 1 fan it will go 2blocks above the middle sometimes,,,,sometimes the first fan will turn off while using the second fan,,this tells me that 2 fans helped alot

I fitted a Tiforce system and PC3 at under 1000 miles, the running hot problem went away at that time and I assumed it was caused by the standard exhaust system.
