I know the bike is liquid cooled and going freeway speeds it should have enough flow to keep the coolant at satisfactory temperatures but could it have over heated? How many people take long commutes at elevated high rpm?
I do a 12 - 14 mile stretch of interstate pretty much 80 mph both ways on my commute. Something like this has happened only once and I was very low on fuel.
