Honda VT1100 C2 -01 mod. High cooling temp.?

Question

When I parked my bike after a ride in airtemp 30 degr., I heard the coolingwater was boiling...

What could be the problem?

The fan is working ok, and the system is filled up with recomended antifreeze coolant.

How do I check this out? and is it danger for the engine?

Could it be the thermostate? and if so - How do I take this out for a test?

Answer 2

Are you sure its not coolant running through the system?  If your coolant is boiling then your fan should run constantly and your temperature light should be on.
