Default Got a few Tech questions for you guys.

Ok so I installed a new cluster today. Its pretty neat but I may have run into an issue. So I let the bike idle for about 30-45 min just because I haven't started it in a while and its been pretty cold here in Jersey. I only drove it around my street to test out so brake/clutch levers I got and it was actually above 50 outside today. It showed my bike was around 212 degrees.. Does that seem odd to anyone or did I just let it idle too long. Also if anyone knows what the stock cluster's max temp reading shows Id appreciate it.

my old F4 would be at around 160F during riding like oon the highway and stuff. But it will quickly climb during slow city riding and idling at lights. The fans turn on around 220F so next time let it heat up some more I guess and if the fans turn on around 220F then its reading properly.

I actually figured out what happened. The way the cluster reads your temp is through ohms. The new cluster operates at a higher ohm rating than a stock 00 F4 cluster. So in the end this new cluster actually shows an incorrect temp. I was browsing through the forum when I saw this gem though. Just ordered the parts and working on it this weekend.
