Engine temp question... - SV650.org

Hi guys,

Just wonderig if my engine temp is edging towards the upper 90s at times, if it's a problem?!

It could always be doing this and I've only just noticed recently, but now I'm beginning to think the engine FEELS hotter on my leg than it used to....

Could just be the nice weather we're having....it hasn't gone over 100 and ranges from 80 to 96 maybe while I'm motoring...

That's normal.

Totally normal marky...it prob feels hotter as your fan kicks in at 101 or thereabouts and blows hot air over your right leg

If its getting into the 90's in Ireland it means you arent moving above 5mph.

......go faster......

A few weeks ago I had the fan cut in on the motorway at (obviously) 70 mph. It's a strange feeling - getting that blast of hot air at motorway speeds!
