Right, sorry all, I didn't tick the box that sent me email notifications of when you all reply - Newbie mistake! So, yeah, aware of the distance selling rules. I didn't mean "I CAN'T take it back" just that the shop is f* miles away. It's a great bike so I'd like to keep it and get it sorted. I wasn't aware of an overheating warning light, so that's good news if it's got one as no warning lights are coming on. Good to hear that your fan comes on too when ya stop, that's reassuring. I've been driving very normally yesterday as had the Mrs on the back and just going around town, so definitely not thrashing it. It seems like there's loads of stuff like the fan and radiator right in front of the manifold. Looks too close to me but what do I know! Yesterday there was loads of (what I hoping was) steam coming from the manifold area as we were out in the rain. I was really worried because of the burning smell too. This is certainly something which I never got on the GSX750. The bike did have a service before they delivered it, you could see that the oil was new but I've done a couple of hundred miles now so I guess any excess or spilt oil should have burnt off by now.
