hrm. possible problems.

1.) Change the coolant. i recomend Engine Ice (it's more expensive, but a damn good product imo.)

2.) pull off the Waterpump cover and make sure that all the fins are there. possibly it's tiome to replace the pump.

3.) check the seels on the back of the water pump (they sometimes give out and fluid builds up behind one (normally will leak out the weep hole tho)

4.) check the tranny oil, if it's a pure white then you need to replace the seels.

5.) make sure all cooling fins on the radiators are not bent and allowing air to go through to cool the cores.

6.) have your rad cap pressure tested to make sure it's holding the pressure

i've seen these bikes on the track in 100+ humid heat getting pushed to teh limits. and none of them were steaming.
