15 850SP Temp light and limp mode

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.

2000 Griz 600 pulsar coil trouble

Hey guys, new here. Got my griz new in 2000 and has been a great bike. Lately it’s been getting harder to start then finally it just STB and wouldn’t start and got no spark. I found out that the pickup coil was wide open (1Mohm) when I measured it. So I ordered a new kit that came with the Stator/pickup coil combined, a rectifier and gasket from Caltric on ebay. I installed per the shop manual and when I put the case back on, the magnet on the pickup coil is interfering with the fly wheel bump out. I manually turned the flywheel and the bump out got hung up on the pickup magnet. I tried and tried to reposition the pickup coil to no avail. The only way I can think of to get the recommended air gap setting for the pickup (.015in or the width of a credit card) is to file down the magnet to get it into spec. Did they send me the wrong kit? Can I gingerly file this magnet down? Or do I send it back and hope they send me a new one in spec. Has anyone ever encountered this problem with aftermarket pickups?

Happy to be here!

Workshop/garage heaters

It’s a little cold here now in the UK and currently hovering between -3 and +6 (C). My facilities are basically a tractor shed with no door, as you can imagine it makes working on my ATV not so fun!
What types of heaters are you all using? I really need to invest!
