hi,im a newbe. please help
i have a 91 cbr600f2 that is gettting real hot, after riding for about 10-15 mins the bike is real hot to the point that it has burned the sides of my legs????? can anyone please help with what is going on with my bike? thanks

 

Where is the temperature reading on the guage? If you're new to sportbikes, they all run pretty hot. I have an 05 R1 and i have burn marks on the inside of my leg from the heat that dissapates through the frame. The frame isnt exposed on an F2 so that wouldnt be a problem. I used to own an F2 and never recall it getting that hot. Check your cooling system.

 

the temp get almost in the red but cools down as soon as i start going.once the rad fan kicks on that is when it get really hot.

 

I started with my F2 a couple of months ago and noticed that mine gets really hot when i stop and then the fan kicks in. You are probibly feeling the hot air being pushed from the bikes motor through the quick access panels. when your riding if you put your hand by the quick access panel you will notice alot of heat, as long as that gauge stays below the red you should be fine. might want to consider flushing cooling system.

By the way since i am here does anyone know what kind of coolant the bike takes?... i am considering flushing mine since its in parts right now cause of maintenance.

 

thnaks i will try that.
