A couple of years ago, with 25K on my TLS, the motor went out. I swapped it with the TLR motor and made the few modifications to accommodate. It was fine for a while, but lately it has been running too hot. I installed the manual fan switch, but it doesn't seem to help with the current issue. The fan will come on at 216F, and the bike temp will level off for a few minutes, but then continue to climb until the bike shuts off at around 232F, sometimes a few degrees earlier. I have to increase the choke (fast idle) to keep the bike running because it begins to studder and then dies. The bike won't start up again until a few minutes later, a protection measure I assume. I realize that the TLR motor is usually supplied by two radiators, but I am only using the one stock radiator with my TLS frame and body. I considered installing another fan on the radiator, any thoughts on this? Today, I plan to do a thorough radiator flush, and reset the bikes TPS settings to ensure correct idle. I thought about trying to get a lower degree thermostat? Currently, I am using the TLR thermostat. Also, I plan to add some "water wetter" to assist in keeping low, but operatable temperature. Any recommendations on this? I am not sure what to try at this point so any advise would be greatly appreciated. You guys are always so helpful, thanks again!
