What model is it? Sounds like a new thermostat needed. Easy and cheap.

Should sit about 90. Does the fan kick in? Could be temperature sensor, as it may not ACTUALLY be overheating.

Mine goes up to 90 deg C, thermostat opens & it just sits at 90 deg C.
Only time it goes up to around 100 deg C is heatsoak after ive parked up & switched off.
Ive had the oil temp up to 115 deg C before after a long high speed run.
