In addition to Checking the radiator cap. It might not be making a good seal to the radiator or the spring is worn. Have the cap tested.
You might also want to try some Engine Ice. My 450 runs hot all the time but Engine Ice has saved me many times.
Here is some info:
High performance coolant, non-toxic and biodegradable formulation proven to reduce operating temperatures by as much as 50ÞF Road race legal in AMA, CCS and FUSA road racing sanctions Antifreeze product with freeze protection down to -26ÞF Tested and proven non-corrosive on even the most exotic metals For use in all types of liquid cooled engines.
You should be able to get some from your local dealer but you might need to get it from ebay.
Good Luck, let me know how it works out for you.

Ahh Welcome to the club.
I had same problems with my R1. Even had to changed my engine, The problem lies NOT with the CAP, Not with the Type of Fluid, and Definitely Not the Fan (if installed)
Its the Radiator Pump a.k.a Water Pump,
Instead of 'sucking' and recirculating the Radiator fluid, it 'throws' out the water, Two things to check :
1. The Water Pump Motor burnt / worn off.
2. The pump propeller worn off, thus does not allow circulation.
3. Propeller shaft broken, so propeller does not function.
Hope this solves your problem.
Bike Lover.

Huh, you have changed the engine but it's still doing it? It's highly unlikely you could get two engines with exactly the same fault.
I am not trying to be patronising but have you tried a different brand silicone hoses and double jubilee clips.
Where exactly is the water coming out of?
