Help plzzz..overheating issues on a 98 honda vfr 800

Help !!! Plzzz i have a 98 vfr 800 and my bike is overheating i have replace thermo and fan, the water pump is good but for some reason its not staying cool it rises to 230 when the fan kicks on but when im on highway it cools down to 200 or 190 then when traffic it rises to 230 even 240 before the fan kicks on..i was bucking around 150 160 on the hwy today and when i got off my temp went up to 250 and flashing i pull over and check for leaks but all i heard was bubbling sounds..i dont know what to do and i really dont want to spend another 800 bucks to the dealer again..fml..plz any solutions thanks and ride safe my friends..

 

Relax 230 is normal for VFR especially during summer switch to welter water it should be fine

 

I hate auto spell on my phone. Anyway people Will chimp in shortly for other solution.

 

150-160 is too cold for highway speed, sounds like a stuck thermostat. They do run hot but as stated the super low and the super high sound like a stuck thermostat. What was the ambient temp?

 

I would agree, your thermostat needs to be replaced more than likely...that or your radiator cap is not holding pressure. I would bet on the thermostat! :smile:

 

Bring it back to the dealer....the problem is not solved.
I have to agree......it's the thermostat imo. The dealer replaced the therm already .....hmmm. Are you sure it works as it should ? Try another one just to be sure...Be also 100% sure there is no air left in the cooling system.
BTW...230 is too high for the fan to kick in. It should kick in at 219....
