Both my SP3 and SP4 never run higher than about 75 degrees.

Also, he wasn't exactly caning it - generally changing up at 7000, occasionally 8000.

I hope that's not his usual playground.

It's the equivalent of having to ride a racehorse in your back garden. Makes me realise how lucky I am with the roads round here.

Only time I got mine to blow water out the expansion tank was after caning it round Croft having forgotten to take the gaffer tape off 1/3 of the rad core.
Road riding with rad core taped up just gets to about 65C. It always ran cold, like just above 55C without the tape.
As you guys say, what this lads problem is; he ain't using the engine.

It sounded OK. But the video made me want to go out and do the same thing as this guy but take it round to 10K

This guy was shifting at 7K, and on my bike this is exactly the point where if you keep revving it there is a distinct change in the bike's character as the induction noise from the airbox hardens into a growl that'll have the hairs on the back of yer neck standing up.
