cooling issues
a buddy of mine has a 14, as long as he is riding on the highway he doesn't have any issues.. i know of the zx 10 fender and engine ice, another fan, all of the remedies but that is not the only issue his bike will cut off in stop and go traffic?????im leaning toward the battery as this only happens when the bike is hot...have you seen this and what did you do???Thanks for the advice.....

Looking at your cutting off issue: Does he even have a PC3 or PCV installed? What mods are done to the bike? I had a similar issue with a loose battery cable, it would only die when I put on the high beams intermittently, wound up being a loose battery cable.Very vague but I would bet on a loose battery cable, check all your wires, make sure they are fully pushed into the terminals. You did mention quite a few mods for cooling, personally I went with the engine ice and it did help quite a bit.

Mods are the most common cause of problems. Especially loose connections, and especially on the PC. Bad grounds can cause intermittent problems. Cutting a PC out of the circuit is easy and will let you know if that is the issue. Also, a lean AFR will run hotter.
Battery is easy to check. Take it out and get a dealer to check it for you, or Autozone will even do it.

+1 for loose ground terminal on battery.
mine had similar issues. first i was thinking that cause is TPS zero-throttle calibration, but when electrics eventually died totally after several idle speed stalls (only when hot!) , i spotted actual cause.
