Since I live in AZ, triple digit temperatures are not uncommon in the summer. But riding my 05 GL1800 Trike in AZ in the summer is becoming an uncommon occurrence due to overheating. I just got her out of the service shop where the mechanic changed the radiator cap and said everything else about the cooling system checked out normal. He said in jest: "Either stop and shut 'er down, or just go faster if she starts to overheat on you again." I'm not enjoying the joke. High temps combined with slow speeds or frequent stops (red lights) and/or climbing in high temps will send the temp gauge soaring very, very quickly. I've read some threads here about reversing fans and changing to Evans Coolant. Just wondering if any new ideas have surfaced regarding a remedy for this condition, and how many others are suffering from the same issue?
