No go?

Uhm, Avg you seen my avatar right?

Unless your beyond triple digits in temp you are the only thing that is going to cook. Sitting at lights with a vehicle off could actually be illegal in some states because you could impede traffic if you are not fast enough (just thinking the other day my battery fried on me was working fine 15min before and died on the side of the road looking at another bike)! Secondly, getting nailed from behind because you can't get out of the way sounds alot worse imho than over warming your bike! Thirdly, yup you got an oil cooler that is what it's there for. I think you're just being paranoid

I think he said he had F fairings on an older GS so no oil cooler. Maybe install a small 12v fan on a switch to blow air across the cooling fins for when you get stuck in traffic, it works for Buells. I agree shutting off your engine is not the greatest of ideas when in traffic. You are running synthetic oil right average? Because if you were worried about heat, synthetic oil would be the first thing to change on my bike. But no need to worry unless you felt your transmission start to shift poorly because of the heat, then you know your oil is beginning to fail on you.

Don't know if this is related but I stop to get gas a little while ago and pumped about 8 bucks. Leave out of the gas station and the damn thing starts sputtering on me like i've run out of gas. I look down to check that it's on and it is but it's still sputtering! So I cecided to let her breath abit and open her up and she did smooth out a little but when I started her up like an hour later she did the same thing. Anyone have any ideas?
