Got a 1999 Royal Star Venture. I've asked this question before but it's happening again.
Changed the fluids and burped did this overnight and two or three different times added a little bit of fluid but not much maybe two cups
Start of day , idled for 20 minutes fan came on never got radiator red light
Then Road for 45 minutes highway speed as well and stop and go through a small town ...no red light. Turned around and headed back.
Rode another 20 minutes at highway speed went to a stoplight... red light comes on. Turned around then ... at highway speed after 3 or 4 minutes red light goes off.
Got home slowing down in the housing addition. red light comes on again and stays on when I get home
This same scenario happened to me last week when I went for a 2-hour ride one way it's like an increasing heat and then once it got up there... the temp, the red light would go on...if slowing or stopped ...and off... if I increase the speed and cruise
Final thought for the first hour and a half I rode the bike starting to stop highway speeds everything's fine no red light then after like an hour and a half I get into the same situation that before no red light but now I get red lights constantly it's like it's building heat over time I'm thinking of stuck three quarter open thermostat maybe I don't know
Any further ideas thank you.
