Overheating really is not a big deal. I have never had my bike overheat. just dont let it sit in one spot and run for 5 minutes.

If your woried about it, change your raditorcap. To a bigger one

He means to a 1.6 pressure cap. Don't overfill radiators, leave a little room for expansion. If you ride the clutch alot it will warm things up quick as the oil transfers the heat to the coolant.

My bike only overheated once after I tried going up a steep hill with a bald tire (i'm talking rounded knobbies that are an 1/8 of an inch tall). Some people have had issues with overheating, but the majority haven't. A lot of it has to do with how you ride too.
