Last time someone got a prize like that, a motorcyclist bled to death, unfortunately.
What happened was, there was an accident and a biker came off his bike. A couple of other motorists stopped to help. The biker said, "I think I broke my arm, can you take my helmet off please."
One of the motorists looked at him, saw he was bleeding (from his elbow), and said, "OK, but first let's staunch the bleeding."
The other said, "What! You idiot! You retard! You never take off a biker's helmet!"
Indignant, the other replied "Look who's talking, stupid old man who keeps having accidents and screwing up!"
The argument went back and forth. The biker bled to death.
True story. |
Ok two things:
1. there is no element of time in fixing this bike issue. No leadership is required in this situation.
2.) there is still a wrong answer to the crashed biker issue hence having people that know what they are doing, as well as being able to take charge is very important. Having a decisive leader is no good if the leader doesn't have a clue. Just look at Donald Trump. ____________________ British beauty: Triumph Street Triple R; Loony stroker: KR1S; Track fun: GSXR750 L1; Commuter Missile: GSX-S1000F

There was a grad student I used to know, who went over to a religion-based internet forum the members of which were mostly geeks who lived and breathed their ideology, knew its history and had some kind of indoctrinated perspective on how discourse and debate should proceed. Apart from being coreligionists, they also all knew each other in real life.
He antagonised them all with his arguments, sometimes deliberately offensive. One after the other, he dropped a position, modified another and assumed another. In effect, he lost most of the 'debates'. Yet it was a win-win situation. How? Because he used it as a means to test his ideas and learn new things. The people there had a habit of launching into furious diatribes, in which they would sperg reams of stuff from history, as well as quotes from their sizeable corpus of sacred scripture, to defeat him in argument.
The real question is, is having disagreements with others a valid means of learning things? In his case, he did it selfishly. In the present case, it just happened to pan out that way after I selflessly offered advice. My motives were pure and selfless. I've never had a Triumph Daytona, but I mentioned that a mechanic advised me never to buy one. You had one. Did my comment annoy you? How pure are your motives?
I would say, it doesn't really matter what the motive or purpose or even the end-result really is, because if you think about how most people learned anything to do with bikes, in most cases it was at least 65% trial and error. Everyone makes doofus mistakes, then learns from them. It's how it goes with bikes! ____________________ Safety in numbers |

By the way, I suggest that not because I think it'll fix it, but just because it's likely been skipped, and if it flushes out a pile of crap[*], well, there's your problem. Bit of a Teffers "KNOWNE baseliine".

OK, now that should be easy to check
What about pump? Guess that would require refilling system and checking to see if it is being pushed around somehow?
I've read somewhere about pressure testing, is that something done simply? ____________________ Current Ride: Daytona 600 |

If the radiator cap is defective, it will cause the system to over pressurize. Won't let coolant flow to the expansion bottle and probably won't allow the coolant to return to the cooling system when cooling down - leading to loss of coolant but an overfilled expansion bottle instead.
It's cheap enough to replace.
Leaving the thermostat may help it run cooler. See if it does. If it continues to overheat then you most likely have a headgasket issue.
If it does indeed run cooler then it may be possible to buy a lower temp stat that opens sooner, say 80'C instead of 87'C. It should be stamped with what the opening temp is on the stat.
Edit:
However all the other advice is handy to check too. Check the rad for blockages, check the pump, check the sensor even too?
