Update :
took the VY for a test drive today. Went great for 145km.
Then suddenly temp gauge shoots up , alarm goes off , "Engine Temp HOT" on dash. But comes back to normal running temperature within 20 seconds.
Turn around heading for home. Temp needle creeps back up again 2 minutes later. Fans come on , alarm going off, Dash gauge reading Hot.
Jumped out and grabbed the digital infrared temp thermometer. Top hose 77°C & bottom hose 40°C while dash gauge is still reading H. Comes back to normal temperature.
Shoots up and goes down again a few more times .
Any ideas?
