-There is a weird mecanical clicking/whining on the left hand side(when looking from the front) after i shut this off, i assume this is normal?
-What should i be running for oil in a cold climate, and warm? Obviously there will be brand preferences, but i'm just looking for general opinions on viscocity etc.
Is there a place where i can find factory recommended service intervals, as well as an online owners manual?
Sorry for all the dumb questions, as i said if there is a place they've been covered before i apologize.
It has a limiter on the reverse.. There is a grey button on the handlebars that says override. Push it and go.. As for the whining noise when you turn it off, that is the engine break actuator, it is perfectly normal, they all do that..A dynatek cdi will bypass that reverse override too..

This is a fantastic forum, thanks everyone for the quick, informative responses. I've determined that the fan is not coming on, i'll test the fan switch first and then have a look at the Buss connectors.
Also picked up a PDF service manual last night for $5, hopefully that should help me find my way around this thing

If the thermostat is stuck closed, then the engine wil get hot but the radiator wont because the coolant isn't getting thru it .I would check that first.

Well, i let it run without the cap to let any air out, put the cap on and took it for a 3 min ride. about 2 min in the light started flashing again, coolant is circulating so it's not t-stat, fan is coming on as well. Any ideas, now i'm stumped?

I should also note, the overflow tank is bubling, so it's not a fualty temp sensor or anything like that

Make sure the radiator is not stopped up. Hard to tell sometimes. Put a light behind it and make sure it's clear.

Its a personal sale run thru his buddies dealership. He's willing to work with me, i'm taking it back and we'll see whats wrong with it. He's not being a dick about it, so that's a start.
Am i wrong at thinking this could be a blown HG? It runs fine otherwise, no coolant in the oil or vice versa, If it is the HG, whats that gonna cost to repair? Is it something i can tackle at home?
