Hi guys, riding back from work one evening I hit traffic and noticed the temperature needle creeping up to the red. As I managed to leave the motorway the red temp light came on for about 5 seconds and went off as I was moving over 60mph. Got home which was like a 80 mile run and keeping an eye on the needle which was behaving plus was around midnight so air cooler. Next day checked water level in the rad which was low so topped it up with the proper liquid I bought plus reserve tank was empty so filled it between max and min. All OK for a 50km ride non traffic however when I got back to the bike after a coffee break the right hand side had water staines. As the engine heated up with the seat off the resevoire tank started to fill up and overflow and when I turned off the engine but the fan was running it settled. I have however noticed only the left hand side fan was running and not the right hand side one. Tomorrow I will pull off the plastic and test the fan by running 12 volts to see if it spins up. The radiator cap looks OK but should I be looking at replacing it with a new one? Can the activation of only one fan cause this issue
Thanks in advance
