I have an '09 with only 450 miles on the clock, and was enjoying a nice ride this afternoon. Got her home, put kickstand down while opening garage door, and brought her into the garage "walking" her in with some help from her own power.
Got her into the garage, and was in the process of thinking about shutting her down when she did so herself. No switches were flipped, no change in kickstand position, no nothing. She just shut down, the fan spun down, the oil light came on, and the temperature gauge traveled up to the top of its range of travel.
She fired right back up when I tried a moment later.
She seems to have plenty of nice, clean oil. I was not riding her very hard before bringing her in, and it wasn't exceedingly hot today (upper 80s or low 90s, not unusual).
I can't deal with this if she does this somewhere on the road. Would die from embarrassment at a new Hayabusa breaking down on the road, for one, and more than that simply don't have time to deal with being stranded by a brand new bike.
Bad enough that a trip to the shop (and at least a week of not riding her) are in the future.
Any ideas what I can check? I thought overheating problems were a thing of the past on the Gen IIs.
I did notice today that the fan actually turned on today (as she was being ridden into the apartment complex. Not sure she's done that before today, and I've had her a couple months almost.
Now I'm afraid to ride for fear of being stranded. Grrr....
Thanks,
Mike
