High coolant temperature
-
A steaming engine indicates a coolant leak. Shut the engine off and way until the steaming
stops. Look for a leak, but don’t touch the engine or radiator system. Let everything cool off

Check for any restriction of air flow through the radiator.

If the reserve thank is low or empty, don’t ride without adding coolant.
