Rocket 3 Roadster Possibly Overheating?

[buddazero]

i always suspect the worst
if some one has been messing with the bike they may have the fan wiring wires ass backwards meaning the fan is blowing instead of sucking
this is a long shot but it pays to take a minute to check
also i have seen several vehicles come into my shop with the fan on backwards

This isnt the case, issue started way before, unless the fan turn itself backwards overnight lol

This also confirms I believe that it’s not all in my head and my bike is overheating because coolant is escaping and it’s already dropped below the min level.

I was already told about the process of bleeding and burping out the air, but it requires me to get extra coolant which I’m gonna get from the [Triumph] dealership and then I’m going to have to burp this bike myself because the **** dealer mechanic lied to me.

It’s high time I work on my own bike, I just feel stupid thinking that the mechanic at the dealer was I guess honorable lol

I need my bike to sit properly upright, I used to have a brick on the kickstand, but what’s a good stand for my rocket three that I can purchase?

You can always get a hydraulic bike jack to get it upright. The manual recommends that before starting to fill the coolant system you crack open the bleed valve. This gives air a place to go as the system fills. It's likely the tech failed to do this, and the system has air trapped you can't get out until you open that bleed screw. Also, a leaking rad cap should be replaced, part number is T2100069.

Once you have the bike level (and stable) open the rad cap and then crack open the bleed screw (bolt) (located above the thermostat housing). Once you start adding coolant when full it will come out of the bleed screw vent hole. Tighten the bleed screw to 10 Nm. Top up the radiator and install the pressure (rad) cap. Then start the bike and allow to run until you see the expansion tank level rising. Shut off the motor and cool down to ambient. Check rad level when cool and top up if required. You should be golden, unless your thermostat or water pump isn't working.
