ah I see, the other bikes discussed in this thread were pointys.

ill do a double check tomarrow with it but i swore the fan does not kick on at 219F= 104C. Havent rode it in the past 2 days with 40mph winds, 350pound bike + 130 pound rider + 40mph winds = swerving like you just came out of the pub drinking all night. So if it goes up past 110C and the fan doesnt kick on do i bring it in?

You might find that the temperature needed to start the fan is higher in the USA, purely because in some states it would be on all the time.(Thats a complete stab in the dark, best to ask on SV.rider)

In my expereince about 104C is when it should come on and prolonged overheating could do some damage so is worth looking into.
