00' GP1200R over-heat warning?

[dank]

I have a customer that has two bone stock gp1200R's that is having problems with one.

He will ride it for 10-15 min at different speeds then the warning indicator will come on and say over-heat. Is this caused by the catalytic converter being cloged or could it be a defective sensor?

The only sensors I see are on the pipe on this model is this correct?

I have checked the impeller and pump area and all lines are clear.

If it is the CAT then if I remove it and install a D plate are there any other mods that have to be done at that time to have it work properly?

Thanks

if you remove the catcone you will need this part

it takes all of 30 secs to install and its a must have.
good luck

Which gaskets will I need to order when removeing the CAT and installing the D Plate?

And should I also get the free flow exhaust kit at the same time? RY1620

while your on the subject i need some help. I have a 200o gp1200r. Saturday i was riding and a warning light cam on. I don't know what it is. It looks like a chevy bowtie with 3 squiggly lines above it......

Also, i had been sitting and started to go, under partial throttle it bogged down and quit running. Upon trying to restart it would not fire unless i had full choke on. once it fired it ran fine for a while and then did it all over.

What is that warning light for for starters?
