RE: '01 f4 overheating
You know what i'm cruizing these forums to find out that exact same question, when my bike reaches 225 though the fan turns on and keeps it there longer, however it will eventually see 228, at max 230, this only happens in the city at longer red lights. I have no idea what an operating engine should operate at and where in the engine is the sensor placed? as in where is it detecting this heat? I live in Utah, its high up and dry and hot. Could someone please shed some light on this. I dont own the repairs manual yet, but I think it would be in there.
Saruji.
edit i have a 2002 f4i with an arrow titanium exhaust, power commander and basicly a direct intake without much of a filter, I imagine this gives more power but also creates more heat, dunno, when I go cruizing through the twisties it sits a 180.

Mine reached 229 or 228 once, that was in 95 degree, Boston heat, last month in bumper to bumper traffic. The radiator fan kicks in a few degrees before that, I believe 224. I wouldn't sweat it. If the idiot light on the dash stays on, that's when you have a problem. Doesn't sound like its overheating to me.
