liquid cooled engines on trails

this is just a discussion thread, i dont really have a question specified to my needs.

please discuss the danger of overheating due to low speeds and high rpms on trails. consider slowly going up a steep incline, mud, and gettting tires caught in pits. these all will require high rpms without allowing proper air flow.

Even with an overheated water cooled engine the engine is still cooler than an aircooled's normal operating temp.

I have never had my bike overheat and puke during any riding conditions and I live in the desert.

True

The only way a liquid cooled engine could have a major overheating problem is, if something mechanical failed or the radiator got debris in it and it could not cool properly....
