[ari666]

checked the water?

[RippleEphex]

leaking radiator hose? radiator blocked? water pump worn out? fan belt not tight enough?

my VH used to overheat, so i flushed the radiator and replaced water pump and replaced water (obviously)

As said above it could be a blocked radiator,worn out water pump or leaking hose. It could also be that your thermostat is not opening properly.

checked the water?

yes of coarse

yer i will also cheak the thermostat and put it in boiling water n see if its opening how it should, but im guessing the radiator is blocked.

Radiator could be blocked internally or externally, most likely externally but after man years use they do slowly fill up with crap and get clogged up inside.

id take the radiator out and put it up on end and run some water through with the garden hose with a little bit of pressure to get the crap out
