Cooling is effected by the air stream.
The lower the speed, the less the cooling effect. Dirty cooling fins also reduce the
cooling effect.
The radiator fan provides extra cooling. It is controlled by a thermoswitch.
During motorcycle operation, the coolant gets very hot and is under pressure.
Coolant is toxic and a health hazard.
