Default warrior over heating

My friends warrior is over heating. The bike is completely stock has changed nothing but the oil and plug. Low hours on the motor. Not sure last time the valves were adjusted. Any info or direction to look would be greatly appreciated.

How do you know it's over heating? If the pipe is red hot check the valves. A tight valve will cause a hot pipe.

I am pretty sure the bike is over heating, because I used to have a warrior and it never got this hot. Even in the summer. My best guess is the valves are out of adjustment to far. I was hoping someone could shed some light on the situation. thanx for the help guys

Throw an oil cooler on it, some of the utility 350's have the filter plate already set up for a cooler and it will fit the warrior, then just buy an oil cooler from summit racing or jegs and hook it up.
