Had Frank from Powerhouse motorcycle install an RCC Stage 1 on my completely stock 2003 Hayabusa about 2 years ago (with dyno tune and all recommended parts by him). Well, it summer again and I took the bike out tonight in 70 degree weather and after 45 minutes of stop and go traffic the bike heats up so much that the fuel in the tank starts to burn my legs. The needle climbs up past the mid point butdo my best to speed up and let the air cool it but eventually it stalls and I have to let the bike sit for over an hour before it will start again. I'm not beating the bike, just cruising through stop and go traffic in NYC. Well, I had started noticing this problem this first year I had it so he put the aluminum fan on and Engine Ice coolant. After that I pretty much only rode the bike on highways so I didn't have an issue but since I am doing a lot of riding into the city now the same issue popped up and of course i got stranded tonight. Tonight was only 70 degrees so i know I'm screwed for the rest of the summer now.
Tried reaching out to Frank a couple times and haven't heard back so I figured some of you would have ideas.
My question is, can I do anything to cool this thing down better. I think at this point the only thing I didn't do is the second fan addon. Any thoughts on whether this would help much? We already tried burping the system etc.
