Ok, so far we have this:
New coolant after flush
New thermostat
New radiator cap
Bike still overheats, I watched as the coolant spilled out the overflow hose onto the ground so the gauge is reading accurately.
I now have an issue of low power. Tomorrow I will bust out the old compression tester and check the plugs. If those check out (please god please let them check out) then I'll be opening up the carb bowls to find out what the heck is going on.
Anyone have any ideas?? I was driving along and the engine starts to get hot (not in red zone mind you) and power starts decreasing. I drive it home on the shoulder going very very slowly. This bike keeps me on my feet I swear.
Before it got real bad the engine was pretty normal til about 7k rpms. I had a weird 30 minute phase where I was running on one cylinder a few weeks ago but I assumed it was either rain in the tank (it had been pouring) or the carbs passing a kidney stone.
