Hey evryone, newbie here. I was just practicing with my bike driving/shifting in the driveway/cul-de-sac and my temperature got up to 204. Is that a bit too high? im going no more than 10mph MAX. I just purchased the bike a few days ago and it didnt come with a owner's manual so i cant look it up. Ive already ordered one and its on the way

 

that is correct around highway around 170-190 in city expect 200+ because there is no ventilation. The fan kicks in at about 230ish, probably too high would be 250 and above.

 

the lower your speed higher your temp., and the fan shoul kick at about 215-225., i live in florida, and in the city i just need to stop at one light for 30 seconds and my temp., is 215-220. and 250 is way to much...i will say that 240-245 is the max. temp that you will get, after that your fI light will come on on your dash and your bike will shut off by itself.

 

204 = perfectly normal

229 = perfectly normal

231 = getting a bit hot

240 = shut her down

254 = lights start flashing

The outside air temperature doesn't impact the engine temperature as much as air flow does. If you start her up outside in the summertime and let her sit idle, she'll stay between 220-230 and she'll be happy at those temps.

 

At cruisung, Im at 177. Going thru town is 200-220 but I have never seem higher than that. I try to avoid riding thru town
