The recommended mixture is 60/40 in the manual and thats what iv been following since i bought the bike. Just after my 3rd overheating last week i changed the mixture to 70/30 to experiment and see what happens. Although this week is very hot where i live (under the sun it reaches 45*Kelsius) bike has not overheated yet. In couple weeks we ll have the time to check the impeller of the pump and see if theres any damage inside.

@pipster: No i haven't used Engine Ice...but looks like quality product so ill try that asap..thx for advice

crossbolt: pulling a 350 pound trailer on uphill is quite a stretch in my opinion, but temp was fine as you mentioned. I forgot to mention that i got all overheatings during summer time with temp around 35-36K (95-97F)

hypophthalmus: yes we checked all these. We always remove airbubbles from the fluid and keep it in the right level...but this time we lowered the proportion of antifreeze in the coolant fluid from 60/40 to 70/30 (water/antifreeze)...at least for the summer period.
One last thing that we haven't checked is the impeller of the pump...maybe the blades have become blunt or damaged and the pump cannot deliver a good fluid flow

Bike has 43.000 km...stretching the motor, like driving near max speed for some time or driving uphills etc.
I am referring to large plastic cover of the exsaust(tailpipe/silincer).
I experienced overheating 3 times in 4 years of use...and each time  after inspecting the coolant system and electronics everything seemed to be ok...i have seen same issue on a people 200 too.

Hi all, my gt suffers from overheating alot latelly ('12 model).
All 3 times i got cool fluid overflow and last time it even melted the exsaust cover. Weird as everything seems to be ok (fluids,fan,sensors) work ok...we checked the temperature with diagnostic while stretching the bike and temp. reached to 103-104 kelsius every time (iv been told thats in the limits of the bike)
Kymco advertises that they upgraded the coolant system for their new scooters like Downtown 350 and Exciting 400... i guess having Italians design goodlooking scooters is not enough
