I bought a new air cooled ATV. I know the fins help disapate heat and that I need to keep them clean but regardless the things gotta run way hot.
Maybe not so bad moving @ 40 mph but I got into a gully and had to jog it around to get out which took about 5 mins.
It never pinged or rattled but it had to be real hot w/o airflow across the fins.
I work at a radiator shop and see overheated cars all day so I know how bad it can get. It just blows my mind that these engines can run for years at extreemly high temps.
