Scenario, bike temp light turned on and then limp mode while riding on the street at high speed for extended period of time due to making a wrong turn getting from one trail head to another. 2 mins of sitting with the fan on fixed the issue. Radiator didn’t seem that hot, was free of dirt/mud/debri and no coolant spewed over after turning the engine off. No problem riding the rest of the day. Bike had 250 miles on it.
I want to be able to troubleshoot this going forward if it happens again, is there a way to see what the temps are while riding? Is the temp sensor its reading the oil or the coolant temp?
Things I’m in the process of ordering for peace of mind. Changing from Amsoil 0-40 to 5w-50, Change from coolant to engine ice. Possibly upgrade to radiator with more capacity.
