I'm sure the topic has been beat to death, but I haven't found anything quite like the issue I'm having.
8 months ago I wrecked my bike and took the next few months rebuilding. Mostly cosmetic fixes, and nothing mechanically. Or at least I thought.
Since the wreck, my bike hasn't been staying very cool while riding. It rarely drops below 200F and will reach HI just idling at a stop light for even just a few minutes. The coolant levels are fine. I haven't tried burping the lines yet. I had the first service done in October (I bought a 2013 model with 444 miles on the odo). The bike just doesn't seem to be staying very cool. I can't hear the fan turning on so that may be the issue as well. But even at cruising speeds, it doesn't dip below 200F. Isn't 180F about normal for a 75F temp day?
Don't know what to do from here.
