03 Speed Triple
16k miles
Bike is getting rather hot. Last summer it stayed around 175-185 unless I was in heavy traffic for a long time. I think the fan came on twice last year.
This year, bike temp will jump 20-30 degrees while waiting for a traffic light to change. Fan comes on and cools the bike down, but it stays at 200+ in traffic now. If I start movin at 50mph or higher, the bike will cool off...eventually.
I have flushed the coolant system out and replaced the antifreeze with Engine Ice. I thought it might be a partially stuck thermostat, so I removed it. I have tried bleeding air out of the system using the bolt on the water pump and the one on the radiator. None of this has helped the cooling issue.
I recently had the oil changed, there was no water in the oil, and no oil in the water.
