Overheating anyone?

Hiya . ...

I had the first offroad play today,

but after an hour or so I realised there was a warning light was flashing and the temp gauge bars were strobing. The fan had been on a few times earlier, and has also come on in moderate traffic before, but I wouldn't have thought that it would ever get so hot... A quick scoot down a lane cooled it quickly enough, but what would happen if I was riding somewhere properly hot?

Oh - and yes, the hand-protectors are an unfinished work in progress but they look better than my bank balance would if I broke a lever...

yeah, i've had the same issue on several occasions, and even just doing moderate off-road stuff. hasn't caused any problems though?

Let's assume it's nothing to do with the fact it's clearly an ex-Off Road Skills bike
