My cooling problem solved(hopefully)
I picked up my Hawk last summer from a guy on ebay who had crashed at a track day.The bike sat for 2 yrs in his garage before I got it.I love the bike but no matter what I did it always wanted to run hot.Did a coolant flush,ran water wetter,wired the fan always on,still getting too hot.Finally I had enough and pulled the entire cooling system apart and viola!Looked like the radiators were full of crack rocks.All of the passages were blocked an there was a big pile in the bottom of the radiators.So hopefully I can get them cleaned out and quit watching my temp guage and concentrate on riding now.

You can use CLR, the calcium lime rust stuff, to clean the system once assembled. Dilute it partially and run it through the system. Operate the vehicle for 10min once warm, and then flush the system completely.
