Is overheating an issue?

With the GZ, is overheating an issue I need to be concerned with? It's been pushing 100 with VA humidity. I typically ride the back roads at 40 mph or less. Do I need to worry about my bike? Without a temperature gauge, what are the signs to look for?
Thanks

Re: Is overheating an issue?

Shouldn't be an issue if you are moving without overly high rpm's, but it could be if you are at a red light for a long time with no breeze, or in a traffic jam. I'm not sure what signs to look for, perhaps some change in the engine sound/performance or it stopping altogether.

Not to worry unless you work the GZ like a rented mule. The GZ is a workhorse in many parts of the world that have consistant high temps.

Why can't these arseholes just put their SPAM in one post? It's much easier to erase, that way.
