I have received my Roketa had to replace parts because of delivery damage no problem there. Then I had to replace a fuse. So I get the cycle fueled up and check fluids and the all seem fine. Then I take it for a run and it overheats in about 10 minutes. Any ideas.
Thanks

Three Little Letters.... PDI......
Make sure you do a GOOD PDI on them things. Get rid of all the FLUIDS that come stock. They are all JUNK that come in it. If it even has all the fluids in it.

Yep, get rid of all of the old coolant, put in Prestone 50/50, and add an ounch of a super coolant like Water Wetter.

As far as the overheating, you need to burp the cooling system. You have air trapped in the engine and will not allow the coolant to circulate.
This is common symptom for those who change the coolant and the bike starts to overheat.

I'm going to change my coolant and don't know how to "burp" the cooling system. Any pointers on how to do this? I have a Roketa 54 250.
