I'll check codes and some live data when I can, but wanted to start the thread while I'm thinking about it.
Recently I replaced the clutch and all associated items inside plus the two motors for the forks. I had thought I screwed something up because it was overheating and telling me to pull over ...

I thought I'd close the loop on this. What the issue ended up being was a pretty bad leak from the rear main seal cover. When I did the job originally, I replaced a mildly leaking OEM one with a Fel-Pro one. I'm certain I installed it with the included tool correctly, and torqued it right too. But ...
