How hot is hot?

[Gulrok]

So.. question - how hot does your bike get? I was riding around today in 90ish. The temp gauge went up quite a bit more than it normally does.

Just wondering where it should normally sit for you guys. It was closer to the red than I liked.

They run hot. Don't worry.

Did the fan come on? The fan doesnt even come on, until they get close to the red.

It didn't. I was wondering if maybe my fan was dead. But I remember that it has turned on once before.

80 degrees here today. I was in stop and go traffic. My gauge went up a bit more than half way. As soon as I got out of traffic, it dropped to a bit under half way.

Your Nose Knows----if it is too hot there is a manual fan thread that will hook you up nicely.

I got the electric fan to turn on yesterday when it heat soaked from stopping at the gas station.

It made awful noises, which means that I'll be taking it apart to clean, or replace.
