Hi Guys, I wonder if anyone can point me in the right direction with a problem I have. My bike is a 2000 model which I've had from new and has 42,000 miles on the clock. When riding in heavy traffic, stopping and starting frequently with the temperature rising rapidly:- I am sure the fan is kicking correctly and the temperature never reaches boiling point. But as the temperature rises the engine becomes rough on idling and I have to maintain higher revs to keep it from stalling. Once when it stalled there was nothing from the battery and I had to let it cool before it would start again. I replaced the battery as a precaution (it was 4 years old so due for a new one). But the problem persists. So, it's heat related, any ideas what. All suggestions gratefully received.
