Curious... what were the environmental conditions when this happened to the bikes? (ambient air temp, etc)
Only time I've ever had that happen was on my last Shadow (07)... and was coming back cross country from Sturgis SD for the Rally in the end of Summer heat coming down out of the Black Hills. But it only sent a small amount of coolant to the pavement when stopped. And on my 09, never even got it hot enough to have the fan kick on. I've tested to make sure it does work though. But I haven't had this happen with it and I've ridden it everywhere over the last 5 years.
