[QUOTE="Buck, post: 128973, member: 2851"] ok, so I am wondering if the two are connected. But after my first coolant flush (had to do a few with in a month because of one thing or an other) Bear started idling higher. I know it has been hot, but lately even during the cool nights the bike seems to be a lot hotter then it should be. the two spots that seem to be the hottest are the left side where the heat sink is located under the false tank, and also I notice it really lights my butt on fire (so to speak). I turned down the idle, about 1/3 quarter turn back, and I have been checking to see if my fan stays on constantly (thankfully it doesn't). So far I have had one response from my buddy (who is my main mechanic and is unfortunately in prison) who said i should check for a bleeder screw for an air pocket. I have done a coolant flush a few times, and it has been like that since the first. Any ideas on what to check for (keep in mind i am some what mechanically inclined to a degree)? [/QUOTE]
