Default 06 Sportsman 700 overheating/running rough

my 700 is not running well. was constantly overheating and dying when hunting out east this summer. not running well (rough) on the west side either in 60 degree temps. fan is coming on all the time now.

changed air filter (quite dirty from dusty east-side), coolant level is good. don't know what else to do.

has about 350 miles on it.

HELP!!!!

first and formost check the radiaotr from being plugged on BOTH sides. twins run hotter so need a pretty clear rad. to keep them cooler. does it get hot to point of boiling over or is just the light coming on?

That's the weird thing. Everything FEELS hot. The fan is running all the time....when I shut the engine off the fan will run a good 3-5 minutes afterwards, and that's something that just started. But, no light, no boil-over, nothing

I gave it a very good cleaning, radiator is clear front and back. Going to pull/switch the plugs tonight.
