If you let any modern 4 stroke sit with the engine on they will overheat. I wouldn't advise taking the cap off when its hot.

That's not a problem and common. You can't let the bike idle for too long or it will boil over. The fix is to get a higher pressure radiator cap but then you might put more strain on the rest of the system. Don't go with the 2.0.....get a 1.4-1.6 radiator cap. I've overheated my crf450 and it caused a leak in the radiator core......boiling over is less of an issue. Let someone else explain but rest assured there is no problem. I would also get a Boyesen Supercolor kit.......very inexpensive and easy to install. It may help keep the coolant moving.

No air flowing thru your radiators when your not moving.
