Hi all learned ones,

Looking for insight!

Symptoms:  overflow from radiator overflow tube. The temp indicator on the 
dash is
        reaching its high temp much faster than norm (but not greater than N. 
In 
fact, in
        my 2+ years of ownership, it has never exceeded N).
Occurance: last 3 times on the road, the last after a ride on flat terrain 
of less than 5 miles.

The fan is running normally.
My limited knowledge and guesswork: perhaps the thermostat is not opening.

But as I said...limited.

What else might I look for in symptoms and what other possible dysfunction 
could be
signalled by this non-invited behavior?
