My Duke 690 was running hot after I moved to a crowded city. It would actually shut the engine off if I sat still for too long. I did some research and did these three things and my motor hasnt gone 1 single bar above medium since.
1-the 85F radiator thermo switch, it kicks the fan on before it starts overheating instead of after overheating.
2-I wrapped my header with titanium exhaust wrap from Auto-Zone. I noticed that header was getting extremely hot and it was so close to the radiator it was heating up the water inside.
3- I purchased the Rottweiler fuel dongle. This enriches the mixture by 1 full point and the richer the mixture the more fuel to absorb heat. Thats why air cooled engines almost always run pretty rich.

Engine Ice helps a little too. As long as it’s not spitting coolant, on your boots, it’s fine.

As I said before it was putting my bike into limp mode in the middle of traffic

If you are having overheating issues please dont wait until coolant spits out onto your feet lol!

Is that just radiator or what is it actually? I have coolant on my feet after 30k miles of riding lol
