Engine temp - sanity check

[theenglishman]

Normal running on a cool day has the bike at 75.

Around town it seems to rise and peak around 95. Today(hot day) it hit 102.

I can't hear the fan on - maybe it's quiet?

Is this normal and if not what's to check?

Totally normal the fan will kick in somewhere between a displayed 100 and 110 if I remember correctly it's slightly different on each bike.

In the summer months and in 'normal' riding, my K6 constantly cycles from 79C up to 89/90, then back to 79C.

When pushing on a bit and in ambient temps above 20C, the coolant temp will stay a bit higher, say 82/83 to early 90s.

I'm not usually in town traffic for any great length of time but I've seen the readout hit late 90s when stopped and idling for a while.

totally normal dont worry about it.

Mine cycles 80-94C normally. Fan kicks in just over 100C and today could barely get the temperature down.

[Corny Gizmo]

Mine usually runs 75C - 79C unless im in traffic, it will get up to 105C and then the fan comes on to reduce to around 90C

[Red ones]

IIRC pointies run cooler than curvies but both have the fan cut in around the 105-110 range.

Sounds normal to me, just check your fluid levels in the expansion bottle if you haven't done so already.
If their good - forget about worrying, if their low - top up then forget about worrying.


Too damn hot to be worrying about shizz.
