Is the radiatior filled with coolant to the correct ratio.
Is the radiator fan working when the coolant reaches switch on temperature.
Is the radiator blocked, internally or externally.
Is the thermostat opening at the correct temperature.
What condition is the water pump in.

These are a few questions that i would ask myself if my bike was getting a tad warm.


*edit* make sure there is no air locked in system anywhere.

Hi

Is the radiator hot? Is is hot all over or just at the top?

All the best

Keith
