700 Water Pump Issue ... Overheating

On our last ride we started overheating for the 3rd time in 9000 miles (1st time the radiator was clogged & the 2nd was a spark plug issue) It got so hot it warped the thermostat & ruined the spring on the radiator cap. After that I had to run my fan over ride the whole time to keep the temp below 140 so it wouldn't build enough pressure to push it out the overflow.The less the RPM's were the more it overheat. It would overheat super quick at an idle. Wanted to share ... here's a pic.

It was a bad day for over heating that day wasn't it. It was almost like someone brought bad luck to the group wasn't it

So what's the fix? Is there an aftermarket pump that's better?

If there is a better pump it's not worth more money than a factory one, because 9000 miles is alot of riding.
Glad you found the problem before next time.

True...never thought about that hump.

I just hope it didn't get hot enough to hurt the engine. That would suck!

Glad your motor is ok.
