Found the culprit in the worst way. I was driving to my downtown office and the water pump line between the pump and radiator line had a huge crack in it and started gushing fluid. The funny part was it wasn't leaking fluid till today.

FYI this is my bosses scoot he lent it to me while mine is in the shop for a engine upgrade.
I changed the oil today and it looks like it hadn't been changed in forever. This reduced the overheating but it still started overheating at a stop light. It only seems to overheat about 20 mins into a ride and only when idle. This issue started about 2 weeks ago when I picked up the scoot, and lately it's been 90-100 outside but that's nothing new for Houston TX.
Checked fuses, all good.
Fan is working.
Thermostat is ok
I Am going to flush the coolant and restock it this weekend. I will also check the coolant lines. Gauging on the shape the oil was in i Am going to assume this bike isn't maintained as well as it needs to be. I also figured out why the key was getting so hot. There are heat exhaust ducts on the scoot right next to the ignition. As the heat from the radiator is venting the ignition is getting hot thus heating the key.

Oh and another thing when the key is in the ignition for a long period of time it gets very hot. Not sure if its related but I figured I would throw that out there.

I have a people 250 with about 10,000km on it. When I am stopped after the scooter has been running awhile my temps start to skyrocket, but once I get going again they come back down. I checked the fuses for the radiator fan and its good. Coolant is new and good and been burped. No leaks. Could it be the fan assembly or maybe the relay? Any help if you can!
