Motorcycle acts like it is running to hot

Question edited for clarity and typos.

I had a similar issue on a Kawasaki Z1300. It was caused by a fuel line that was routed very close to the rear of the cylinders. When the engine heated up it caused a vapor lock, so basically a gap in the fuel delivery. Backfires can also be caused by weak fuel delivery.

I take it that this cycle is a water-cooled bike...if that's so (with the fan)...., then I would first check the fluid level in the radiator....(find owner's manual )....my guess is that it is definitely low....top it up and you should be fine after that....

It isn't over heating correct? When it starts acting up, what exactly is happening? Any engine light coming on?

Could be bad EGR valve or vacuum leak. Egr valve, depending on whether it is stuck open or closed can act like the old choke thermostats on the carburator system making the vehicle run and idle rough when it is cold OR hot but normally only one or the other. Will run fine cold but rough once it's hot or rough when cold and fine when hot. Check or have someone check for any trouble codes in the system. It can hold codes and not make the check engine light come on and may help diagnose the problem.

Most likely a leaky head gasket , the white smoke indicates coolant is getting into combustion chamber/ cylinder(s)

could also indicate a cracked or warped head most often
caused by over heating

This sounds like a hot fuel pump issue. The pump is getting hot on the circuit and is cutting out.

Sounds like too hot does it have a raditor fan? and does it work? The fan working good and the raditor washes claen with saop and water thought where the air flows though it may look clean but be therollay dirtly and the air going though the raditior not able to remove enough heat running too rich as the cold start being on when its warmed up will make it too hot too. Dirty most often the problem or no fan means you can't sit around running turn off and restart when not moving

Check the vent on the gas tank. Open the lid when it is hot and see if alot of pressure escapes, if so the furl tank vent is plugged and building up pressure to flood the engine.

It sounds like the thermal fuse or heating element are defective. Both components are easily checked with an ohm meter or multimeter. The fuse is usually inside the back of the dryer by the exhaust duct. Both components should have continuity, if not they need to be replaced. Sure hope this helped.
