My yz426 has the same problem. I will be running a heat exchanger this year in lieu of buying the radiators you picture. Although those are nice units for me a free exchanger from a dead sled is the way to go, but I think those will solve your problem. Mine runs ok on the snow and at many times won't even warm up, but a few minutes sitting in one spot on the trail or stuck or screwed up and that thing wants to boil. I hope to keep it cooler overall with the exchanger and a thermostat to help it warm up on those cold days and on the way by I hope to catch the carb with some coolant to heat it too! I'm sure the exchanger will require scratchers come spring and may be a problem on dirt conditions. Think how much fun it will be finding out! Also try removing your fender that helped me alot!
I think almost any four stroke mx bike will boil if you leave it run for very long at all. They have advanced timing, and in the dark mine will make the head pipe glow cherry red in probably a minute...
