I went to a car show last weekend and on the way home the temp started going up but it was about 85 out so I did think much about it. But as I went it keeped going up, by the time I got home I was running 70 kilometers and the temp was about 215. To make a long story short I had the rad recored and I took it for a good long ride today the temp outside is 95 with 97 humidity and it never went over 175.

P.S. - A stock 1275 doesn't even stay cool in 90 degrees during 15 miles of 6250-6500 RPM. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/jester.gif
