Im still getting used to her, but it seems that she doesnt like going slow at all... a little time stopped at the lights or even slow driving between cars at a traffic jam, and the fans start working.

They kick on at about 102ēC

And though they do ease the temp back a bit before turning off, unless I get some wind rushing the components, It'll creep back up very quickly.

Also, yesterday I did a fair bit of riding, including Highway, lots of speed, lots of wind so she didnt heat up much during the ride, and then parked at my fav cafe for a while, in the nighttime, it was a cool night, didnt even take my jacket off. When I went back to it, the Engine Frame was still ridiculously hot... now, I dont mean like ooh, thats nice, I mean: ****, burnt myself!
When I turned the key, I saw that the temp was still at 88ēC but this was like after one hour or so...

I remember the YZF600R heated up too, but nothing like this...
Is this normal?
Is there anything I should look at to make sure there isnt a hidden problem somewhere there?

Also, I was parked next to a 2006 R1 (My friend's) and we noticed, there are no air intakes apart from the wheel/radiator area.
Has anyone made any modifications addressing this, so that the cooling is more effective? (then again, at speed it is...)

 

I have only had my bike for two weeks, but while I am riding around, the temp stays at about 180-190 F, if I stop it will climb after maybe 10 or 20 seconds. As long as the fan kicks in and keeps it in the temp range specified by the owner's manual, I wouldn't worry about it.

Is it hot in Portugal? It has been about 65-80 F here.

 

My temp switch broke a long time ago so I grounded the wire. The fans run whenever the ignition is on, but I like that the bike rarely sees temperatures over 190F (88C). The hottest it gets here in the summer is around 90F.

 

Ok, break out the Fahrenheit to Celcius Converter, lol

Well, this summer its been between 86 and 104 F out here.

When I get to work, the frame is at BBQ temperatures

 

Had a small revelation... the only other bike I've had, had an Aluminium Frame, which is great at dissipating heat, where as this 929 is a steel (I think) frame which is great at conservating heat.

 

I promise it's aluminum. Mines polished and I leave it in the rain. Our gas tanks are steel though.

 

Dunno mate, but it sure gets hot...
