FZ1: Over heating problem

[dame]

cheers for the reply Melons,

i bought it on wednesday at a police auction they didnt start it but said it was a runner, i got it home and put a battery on it and it started.

I left it running while i got my gear on  and noticed steam coming from it as i was about to set off. the fan was on even  i would guess it had been running 5 minutes or so?

i took it for a 2 mile ride along  the dual carriageway and the air ram  on the rad  brought the temp down, but as soon as i got home it  and  had it ticking over on the drive, home the temp rose quickly

checked  and topped up the header tank and  the temp dropped slightly. i took it for another ride and again the temp dropped  whilst riding but  got up to 108 degrees before i switched it off,

Ive checked the levels again today and the  header tank is still at the same level and the rad is full, there was a little gunk on the rad cap but not tons of mayo.
there is some residue in the header tank but i don't know  if its definitely  oil ??  thats the full story of her to date
