[QUOTE="ekvh, post: 214413, member: 1179"] I’m thinking it cools okay because when it overflows, it isn’t hot. Just more volume or a bigger reservoir or a radiator that will flow as fast as the pump pushes it at high rpm. If the rpms went up rapidly when the thermostat was still closed, the thermostat is slow to open. There is a bypass which should help, but I’m thinking it just isn’t enough. I’ve never seen any data on the speed or volume of the water pump of the 1200, but I remember Old Fogey saying the oil pump would be driven slightly faster. Would the water pump be driven the same amount? I think it would. If so, it’s driven a few thousand rpm higher rpm and gets a boost from gear differences. It is a different animal. I always thought it would be neat to have two radiators like 15-1800’s and lots of smaller Honda bikes which could be utilized for heat on cooler days. Too cold for any experiments here. Be glad you’re down there where you can enjoy riding and wrenching most of the time. [/QUOTE]
