Yes, I'm a dumbass and I hate myself. I put on a PCV, Ignition module, full exhaust, block off plates, filter. Bike start and runs fine initially, but quickly overheats, in 5 minutes of riding around the block it needs to be shut off in today's 60 degree weather. I don't notice any exhaust leaks, engine response seems good. After I installed the parts a few weeks ago I rode in 10 degree weather for 30 miles or so, didn't see an issue. On the way back home, another 30 miles and it overheated. Check engine light came on and I stopped until it was cooled down a bit and rode the rest of the way home. Loaded the full Hindle exhaust tune on it from Dynojet hoping to solve the issue (I did not load a tune on it initially because I'm planning to get it up to J.D. for a proper tune) and it idles fine in the garage for a while (check engine light went away after idling for a bit) but as soon as I take it out it's overheating again. The fan kicks in at 220 degrees, so I guess that's working and I topped off the coolant after it boiled over while in the garage. Up until I started screwing with a perfectly good bike, everything was fine. Yes, I'm a dumbass and I hate myself. At this point, I'm going to take it back apart and reconfirm my wiring. Any suggestions or places to start my focus? Uggg... another 60 degree day tomorrow too.
