Default Help with overheating

So my ruckus temp light keeps coming on after 20 minutes of riding. I decided to se if it would overheat kept riding and didnt look like it was overheating. I've been riding it like that for a week. Today i opened my radiator and it was low. I havnt seen or found a leak yet. Im not sure what the heck is wrong. Has anyone had similar issues and if so how to fix it

Did you ever figure out the problem? Mine has 130 miles on it and stops after 4 miles. It goes into limp-home mode. I'm having it hauled to the dealer tomorrow.

Hello, mine started doing this with 100 miles on it, what did the dealer find out?

As suspected, a stuck radiator thermostat. This also apparently caused increased pressure in the radiator which caused a radiator leak. They replaced both. Runs fine now.
