Mine runs around 170-190 depending on the weather on the highway and throughout town it runs in the 200's and when you have to stop all the time it will get to 225 (the temp where your fan should turn on at, the fan might turn on a little earlier around 220 but if it dosnt turn on after 227 shut the bike off and let it sit and then go find out what is wrong with the fan)

Thanks everyone! Random question, I am thinking of painting the "CBR" lettering on the upper nose fairing under the handlebars black (It is white now). What would be the best way of doing this? I dont want to spend a bit of money buying paint just for these two sets of of letters, but want it to look decent. Is there a place that sells overlays or anything like that? Thanks! The fairings have blemishes here and there and I am not worried about them as I will eventually have all the fairing painted.
