Hey Guys, i took my V for a ride yesterday , around 200kms round-trip. Everything was fine doing 5-7k rpm and around 100kph/60mph but when i get on it in the twisties and hill climbs (on and off throttle; WOT; just a bit more spirited riding in general) the temp light comes on; and after 5-10 mins of stable throttle at 5k rpm and slowing down a bit it turns off. I tried shutting the motor off when it lit on, i hear gurgling sounds. Fan is okay, i checked at idle if it came on and no stones or anything jammed up there. I have a radiator shroud on does it affect cooling efficiency? It also was 94°F yesterday. Any advice?

A couple things-that is a MK-2 Versys One thing not mentioned, there have been a few that had the rubber hose break down , internally, it is possible to have some bits blocking the T stat. The Rad cap as was stated before-lack of pressure allows the coolant to boil, this has large amounts of air in it, air doesn't cool well. One thing, the high temperature light is not normal. Secondly, there is a fan issue below 3KM per hour -stop and go it doesn't run.

This example relates to a MK-1, but applies to all Versys 650 . A couple things important to understand. First Kawasaki suggested early in the 2007 that if extended idling in hot weather to switch off the motor Be aware the fan draws roughly 70 watts,or 22% of maximum output, add your base load...
