Update.
Tons more seat time no issue at all. Ambient riding temps below 80 degrees. Oil cooler parts have arrived and I’ll be venting the cover on install.

Have you been riding with the cover off? I added Buffalo to my weather app, haha, and it says next week will be in the 90’s and sunny for you. That would be a good day to test the cover being off.

Good that it’s working well, but I still hope with the cover on in the heat it stalls out.

If it were the coils a heat pipe type cooler might work if you vented air to the coils.  But if it were the coils, then better solution is more condition tolerant coils.

Makes it frustrating to have spent good money and need to help figure out the cause for the problems with the unit.  Guess that comes with being a pioneer of a new unit, can't be afraid of a few arrows.
