M1000ds running hot.

Hi all, now if you enjoy a puzzle this might be for you. I have a S2R1000 engine fitted to my bike with just about everything non - standard, and for a whole lot of reasons I have not had the ecu remapped. Well would you believe it but it runs hot, generally not a problem providing I keep on the move. But during the recent hot weather it just gets too hot. It could well be a fueling issue, but if
anything it seems to run rich, I could fit a larger oil cooler. But I have a hunch that it's the ignition that's too retarded. Two possibilities I can think of, first if a DS engine runs on one spark it will inevitably retard the ignition. Secondly the ignition is actually retarded, possibly due to crank position sensor issue. Question is it possible to have the sensor giving an inaccurate reading? All suggestions will be of interest.
