Paul-Kent Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 While bumbling through Cambridge yesterday I noticed the temp gauge was nearly at the top but the fan cut in to prevent it. Once I was moving again it dropped down to half way. I've never had a bike get so hot, coolant is present in rad but I do wonder if it’s circulating properly. Any ideas or should I not be too concerned? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geofferz Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 What temperature? My bike used to get to over 100 degrees in summer in traffic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Fro Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 I don't get worried unless steam starts pouring out of somewhere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 I wouldn't worry as the temp went down when the fan kicked in You will be chasing this for years if you start worrying At most I would just change the coolant for peace of mind more than anything 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marino Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Today arrived to Croatia, outside temperature was 28, which is not to hot, but 45 min waiting on border crossing under sun without shade, my nuts were 120 degrees at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any ideas or should I not be too concerned? Sounds like perfectly normal behaviour to me . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
