Loosing The Will To Live

Ok so yet another issue with the 06 Daytona 675
Took the bike to work this evening a 5 min ride from home to work all was ok
Got on the bike to come home
Within 3 min the temp gage went right to the end the fan was going mental and the engine light came on
I pulled over turned it all off and started again this time it struggled to start without me giving it some throttle same issue temp gage right up and engine light on
I’ve disconnected the battery which is perfect as it’s always on a battery conditioner in the hope it might reset itself
Not sure how much more I can take
Thanks in advance

 

A bit odd though as it wasn’t that hot this evening and she rode all day Monday and Tuesday I’ve filled her up 4 times in 2 days
Could fuel be a issue ??

 

I will try that tomorrow so if the rad doesn’t get hot
I should check the stat as in the thermostat?

 

Thanks to you all I will check all those
And you can rest assure I won’t be asking how
good old you tube for that
It does bloody frustrate me though and I love her to bits look after clean and service her
Again cheers

When you say the thermostat is a easy fix do you mean that I can service that part or it’s easy to replace
Sorry to be pain
Yourself and dozer have been a great help from the start

 

Also I can’t seem to find the thermostat on world of triumph parts Dora’s anyone have a link to it
Many thanks

 

Your all diamonds

 

A quick update just spoke to the main dealership where I baught it to see if they had said stat
Just cos I’m a impatient child
He said he doesn’t think it’s the stat cos no coolant has been used I.e the coolant level hasn’t dropped he thinks it’s a temp sensor I can’t remember what one he said
But I have ordered the new stat and seal and will change no matter what
Just wondering what your thoughts are on that ?

 

Ok Brilliant I’ve stolen the infrared thermometer from work
I’m gunna check all the levels this afternoon with the bike cold then going to run it while checking the rad temp so if the display temp goes racing up and the rad is cold or warm has to be the stat right
New one is on order with the seal
Cheers jack and all for your patience

 

And also am I right in saying that if the rad does get very hot it’s not the stat and could be the sensor?

 

So a interesting update just started up perfect and ran on the drive for 10 mins she heated up and the rad heated up and at just over 100c (the rad) the fan kicked in baught the temp down then the fan stopped as it’s done it’s job no overheating not on the dash the fluid or the rad
But Still have the check engine light on
So are we thinking still a stat problem (maybe intermittent)
Ive ordered the parts so might as well change it still
All input is highly appreciated

 

Cool I’ve done 4 cycles now allowing to cool then running till hot all the time checking the rad fluid and engine temp
The engine light has gone out and it’s not running hot as in the temp gage is fine the rad goes to about 105 then the fan kicks in coolant is all good
Now I’m at a lost end
Could it have just been a gremlin
