THE BIKE OVERHEATS (AS INDICATED BY THE GAUGE) WHILE DRIVEN SLOWLY IN TRAFFIC. YOU MUST TRY TO GET OUT OF TRAFFIC QUICKLY TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BEFORE THE COOLANT WOULD COME OUT AND GO UNDER THE REAR TIRE. IF THAT HAPPENED, THE BIKE COULD SLIDE OUT FROM UNDER ME AND CAUSE A CRASH. THE DATE AND MILEAGE LISTED REPRESENTS THE FIRST TIME THE BIKE SHOWED THE OVERHEATED CONDITION. THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED THREE TIME UNDER THE EXACT SAME CONDITIONS: IN TRAFFIC; MOVING LESS THAN 15 MPH; APPROX 85 DEGREE OUTSIDE AIT TEMP. I HOPE YOU CAN HELP. THANKS.
