F4i temp to high?
today i took my first real ride with a few of my buddies toward the end of the ride i was in kinda stop and go for about 5 minutes or so. i looked down and saw my temp gauge was at 227 degees. its kinda shocked me and i kept my eye on it. thankfully traffic cleared up and i was able to start riding at about 60 mph. it cooled down to 180 but is that too high for the bike? it seemed really hot between my legs while riding. should my fan have kicked in by then? maybe its not working or something. should i do a radiator flush?

yeah nothing to worry about. Where are you from/how warm was it? In stop and go traffic they heat up pretty quick, mine used to get up to around 230 in traffic in the summer. Thats right when the fan should kick on though. 185 is ideal but anything around 180-195 for a normal riding temp is just fine so dont bother with radiator flush, or at least hold off till after winter.
Once youre seeing average temps of over 200 when youre not even beating on it/riding it hard and its not scorching hot out then consider all that. But until then, enjoy.
