Walked it about a quarter mile to my house and parked it and let it cool off for a while before re-jetting it and flushing the water. Went riding a little later and it overheated again about 2 miles away when going 20mph  Reminds me of someone  did it go into limp mode when it overheated.

At WOT I was barely even keeping up with everyone else (before it overheated)  Bummed hearing the overheating issue has risen it's ugly head. When I had the bb running I ate hills like a fat kid does twinkies, had to wait for everyone at the top of hills during con.....if we can't get the bb consistently running, I'll buy it back from ya.... sleeeepless in seattle, insomnia bites... I thought maybe it's the new belt and rollers but they've got around 60 miles on them now so they should be broken in. Oil level is normal, spark plug is 3 weeks old, carb is clean enough to eat out of and the jetting seems to be atleast close. It's really just about as fast as everyone else's from a stop. Only really noticing any difference at 40+ but I think it's mostly the drive face shave and cdi I'm going to try flushing the coolant tomorrow again since it'll be a completely cold engine and see if the bigger jet helps anything, or if there's air in the the coolant/water. If it's not either of those, then I'm out of ideas as to the overheating since everything else was torqued to spec. Oil is spill brand new looking, burned a little bit of oil when riding but it's still just right under half way on dipstick.
