Got in a three hour ride Sunday with no overheating at all. This morning when I just ran it by the dealer to show them the gas leak (about four miles) the temp gauge went into the red and steam was pouring out the fairing. So I let her cool, then eased to the shop.
I'm told this is a normal condition, that this engine develops quite a few air pockets which take a while to work out. The cause is an air bubble at the sensor causing the quick rise. And once the bubble passes the sensor will show back in a normal range.
One of the customers in the shop suggested I run it at home until the fans kick in, then let it settle for a bit and repeat the process quite a few times.
When I mentioned the long ride on Sunday he said that normally doesn't cause this but several short runs will.
So what is the general procedure to get this settled and how do you know when the engine is really overheating?
