A pin hole most times would act worse with low fuel..like less than 1/4 tank..
Running and stopped for 20 minutes can get a bike hot fast.
Prolonged slipping of the clutch and very low speed riding can get it really hot.

Let's say this was my issue then. Riding conditions cause the bike to get really hot. Anyone know if the heat management the bike goes through would actual cause the bike to physically feel like it was dying, more vibrations, stalling, etc.
