I was just curious where your bike likes to run? i know it does not have a digi temp gauge but in general terms. Just curious to see if mine is different from the others or if they are all the same, because i know these engines can handle the heat.

mine runs best above the halfway point. not 3/4's of the way hot but maybe a needles with above the halfway point or right around there.

 

middle to 3/4 thats even with a good flush and 2 bottles of watter wetter.

 

Mine used to run at less than half. I added a 2 degree ignition advancer and now if I'm in town stop and go situations it goes up to 3/4.

 

you kids with your fractions.



booyah

 

mine sits at less than a 1/4 on the streets, never rode it past 45*F
and freeway it sits between 1/4 and 1/2.

 

haha spicy

 

I don't think my gauge is working. It should go up some even if it's in the upper 40's right? When it was upper 50's lower 60's it went up. Lately it hasn't been as warm when riding, and it doesn't seem to move.

 

I did the whole f4i thing and with the current weather it will hang around1 170ish while im moving but colorado isnt hot enough to start kicking on the fan which I belive someone mentioned happens around 210?

 

My F3 runs at around 1/3 while moving but in heavy stop/start traffic it rises to around 3/4. This is even when the air temp is between 30 to 35 degrees C. I've never looked at the guage and paniced, so everything's working fine I'd say.
