Mate, you could try changing your anti-freeze. A higher portion of EG will help to increase your cooling capacity.

Yes,especially with the high ambient temperatures we are having at the mo.
Coming back from RTL on the A1 yesterday the airtemp said 30degrees.Cruising along the road the bikes temp was 75-80deg.We later hit a bit of a traffic jam and the temp soon shot up to 100.

Only up to a 50 / 50 mix at maximum, after that the increased anti-freeze content can have an adverse effect.
