Going to replace my thermo switch assy. Cooling fan is not coming on soon enough. I also am going to replace the thermostat this summer. I had the front wheel bearings replaced last summer. Current mileage is 35,900.

Perhaps the gauge should have been designed different as not to scare the riders.

Maybe I just didn't notice in prior years. Once the needle hits the red bar, I get nervous, especially if the cooling fan isn't on. I already bought the parts so I"ll do it for preventative maintenance.
Last summer, I noticed some coolant spitting out on to the right side fairing which made me start watching the temp gauge closely.

a gauge that never gets too high .... beauty mate !!! 
Seriously though .... check the cap if she is expelling water from the overflow..
As Pete said , the easy work around is just whack in a separate manual switch
My answer to this problem is to just avoid going into built up areas where I have to go too slow for too long ...
The only time I usually hear my fan is when I get home and because of where I stash her, that's in nice and safe place , it takes me a few minutes to maneuver her in and the temp tends to set the fan off by the time shes parked ... but its worth it to put her away in a place where it is a bugger to try to steal her from

Mine comes on in just about any traffic. When the needle travels just above the 1/2 way point, the fan kicks on.
I wonder if it's just different on the more recent ones?
I think I'd be concerned if mine went to the red, too.. if I wasn't used to it.

I have been known to use footpaths as my Uturn and escape path when jammed in traffic , if she gets real warm !!!
