My motor seems broken after I overrev'd

[bkuberek]

Ended up buying both radiator cap and fan switch from advance auto.

Just replacing the cap made a huge improvement. Going to replace my fan switch tonight and report back any improvements. However, I have been running with the fan always on and I still get very close to red line even with the new cap and new thermostat.

Should I look into getting a better fan?

If your not moving in traffic. ...it will run close to red. Once your moving for 5 mins. ....that's when the temp drops.

If the fan is on all the time & you put the thermostat in that I told you about it shouldn't even get up to half way. At this point there's something else going on there.

Check if you don't have anything clogged such as the rad

I have a bit of oil in my coolant. Could that be an indication of some bigger problem?

Possible head gasket, crankcase breather (between the cylinders in the "V") or water pump issues.

Finally got everything working pretty good. Replaced the thermostat, fan switch, radiator cap, o-rings. The bike doesn't overheat anymore. The engine also seems to be working fine. Thanks for the help!

Great news- like i said when mine ran hot (mostly due to 4 months of 110+ degrees)
The larger core radiator keeps my temp at halfway mark.

I will keep this radiator bookmarked for next year. Summer is almost over and I don't think I'll be having overheating issues for a while. Thanks for the help
