I dont think a sticker kit is going to help here i think a new rad cap is first priority and a check on the fan switch is a must. I personaly would also put a manual fan switch in. I did a post on how to do that its really simple, just run a wire from the fan sensor single wire through the switch to earth.I have one which i use on trackdays when its hot.

fan switch is not fixing the problem though..
I don't have a rad fan fitted and I can only say that I have had to stop the bike and let it cool down probably 4 or 5 times in as many years. The bikes can cool themselves nicely if all is well.

It is if the bike is overheating and the fan isnt cutting in, and you are sat in the middle of nowhere 200 miles from home.

If the bike is overheating in spite of the fan then what use is the fan?
I don't use a fan, my bike does not overheat...

CSMJ1 says we dont need fans now, so might as well throw it in the bin.

LOL -come on man..chill.
Just pointing out that you are putting a plaster on a festering wound. The problem is that it overheats regardless of fan being on or not. I am merely pointing out that they don't usually overheat with a fan not fitted so that the problem is more fundamental that a fan.
I have a fan if you want one..in fact, it is stuck onto a rad I am never going to use too..
