the temp gauges are notoriously innaccurate. the air cooled motors will not usually over heat unless you are stopped for long period of time. they are very rugged and will cool quite quickly when you get going again. find where your gauge reads the majority of the time (120 for example) and be concious of when it is not where you think it should be. extremely lean fuel mixture could be causing extra heat also, you should have your chip flashed or a pcIII map for any significant changes in tune. i have slip-ons and a cut airbox lid with paper filter with no changes to the injection map as of yet.
