Bike Dies at 230 Degrees???
The engine cuts off when bike is idle at about 220 and 230 degrees mainly when im on the streets at a red light never while on the move i actually got back to the house let in idle in the driveway and it would cut off about 2-4 mins into letting it sit, ive checked coolant levels everything is fine actually toped off coolant level wait about and hour or two then went back on the rode and the bike did it again at a red light (was actually next to a hottie in a new black audi and i looked like a dumbassfor staling the bike)
just start happening today idk if bike overheated and died or wat but it stays on when i keep the RPM's up but dies in an idle RPM's start dippin below 1RPM then just cuts.....
in advance thanks for the help

I don't think the fan kicking on has anything to do with your issue. Yes the fan should be turning on but the bike won't die until about 250+ degrees. The ECU won't care if the fan is on or not. The odd part is if you rev it the bike stays running but at idle it will die. At 190 degree where is your idle at?

take the battery to an auto parts store and have them do a diagnostic on it. It's not weird that the bike runs at rev but not at idle. The bike produces power in excess of what it needs to run to charge the battery at rev, but at idle it operates at a loss and draws power from the battery. Sounds like your battery sucks.
btw it probably overheats due to poor ignition due to weak spark due to low power due to suck battery

No i think it is the battery... my f3 used to do that all the time... i would be riding back home and then at a redlight it would get hot then stall... I had to pop the clutch to get it running again... i took it to the store and turned out the battery spark was really really low... after i recharged it... it never happened again... Does your lights dim when you ride??

ya actually my lights do dim when i ride. (might be cheap suck recharge battery) also the fan is on, also at 190 degrees the bike idles a little under 1RPM but doesnt hit the half mark, also just did it rite now, i ran the bike got temp up to about 190-210 while riding around got home let sit for a few nd got it back up to 228-234 and the dam thing died again in driveway at least..... again all fluids fine even went as far to check the oil and the rest of the fluids nd they are all fine hoses are all in place nuthing cracked or leaking.... ill probably head to autozone or some shop nd have them check the battery
