Heat is not good for any motor. Heat creates friction. We just need to find out what the best temps are for it and try to keep it near that temp range. Maybe a low temp thermostst can keep those ideal temps in that perfect range for us. Lets just give it a try.

I'm runnning a second fan on my 06 boosted for extra precautions, but my bike stock with no air in the cooling system, and everything working like it should, never had any overheating issues.....ran great under all conditions.
I've heard of many diff bikes having cooling issues, quite often its because of a cooling system issue rather than a factory defect. Check your bike out and make sure everything is working right before re-engineer it
