Check your jetting, if it is not jetted correctly I believe you will run way to hot... What color has your headpipe turned? Also have you been changing your oil after every ride or every other ride?

If it still keeps on... get a pair of aftermarket air scoops and maybe even a larger oil tank which will keep the engine running cool... With those mods you have you shouldn't be needing this thou...

Also you might want to check if your filter needs cleaning...



I run an aluminum airbox, K&N, and re jet and have no prob...
