Check to see if the water pump is working.
Drain the coolant.
Remove the water pump cover.
Start the engine.
The impeller should be turning.
Change the thermostat and spring (aprox $40)
Make sure the fan is coming on when the engine gets hot.
Defective fan, or wires to fan switch.
Could be defective fan switch.
Last resort - Remove each water hose and junction pipe to check for blockage (blow through them). Also the radiator.
Don't know how to check stuff or where each component is?
Purchase a shop manual.

If you have modified the stock exhaust it is common for the bike to run lean. You must re-jet carburetors, or if fuel injected, change the injection richness, (that is probably a dealer computer program job). Next thing is to check to be sure the water pump, thermostat, and cooling fan is working if it is liquid cooled. Retarded timing will also cause it to run hot.. If your pipes are turning color near the engine don't run it until you find the problem.

Scooter? which you? final spring i bought a time-honored 12-24 battery for mine from Interstate. The battery itself became into no longer an Interstate variety and became into made in Taiwan, besides the shown fact that it in basic terms fee somewhat over $50. as quickly as I have been given the motorcycle it had a sparkling 18 amp battery like those used on Gold Wings and Voyager XII and the 24 amp has so a lot extra staying ability whilst beginning. plenty extra. i think of that in line with hazard rather of spending mega greenbacks for an rather stable battery, one could be only besides off procuring the $50 battery and a $10 Harbor Freight flow charger. in case you do no longer holiday your motorcycle each and all the time, only hook up the charger and save the battery crowned up. placing there in a partial state of discharge will shorten the existence of any battery, low-fee or costly.
