I'm noticing that my bike is pushing coolant out about 195-200 degress. If I'm crusing the city at night and the ait temp is 80 degrees, my bike runs about 200-210 degrees until I can get somewhere were I can pick up the speed.. The fans come on at 235 degrees. Do F4I's have a tendency to run hot or is this something I should checkout? Thanks fro the help.

 

Do a search...there are LOTS of topics on bike temp. It looks like the F4i's run a bit hot. Anywhere from 180-220ish is what I have read.

that is perfectly normal

 

My fan starts when it reads 225.

I've seen it register 229, and that was in 92 degree weather, with an 80% relative humidity. Parked on the freeway during rush hour.

 

mine come on at 225 as well.

 

if your bike is pushing out coolant, that is not normal. yes coolant should expand when hot, but shouldn't be dripping out like that unless you've overfilled it.
the fan should come on around 222 to 225.
the fan trigger switch and temp sensor unit is located at the left side (clutch lever) side of the bike. the temp sensor for your guage is located just beneath the thermost, at the rear top of the block. whatever the temp reads here, it'll take some time for the hotter temp here to reach the radiator and then the sensor...usually, around 225-228, the fan kicks on. now if your guage is saying 235 before the fan kicks on, then you need to flush your system, to get rid of old coolant or air bubbles.

 

235 is hotter than normoal but nothing too serious. 245 at that point you can sustain some extreme wear and possible damage. Riding on the streets from light to light and keeping low rpms (3-6k) will cause your bike to heat-up dramatically, and its possible on a hot day to go up to 230.
TahoeSc, provided a very good comment and I suggest you follow it.

 

your bike will also over heat if you put to much anti-freeze in your bike. you need a 50/50 mix anti-freeze and water. Aint-freeze does not disperse heat as well as water thats why you need to mix water into your system the anti freeze is only there to stop the freezing of your cooling system and to lub moving parts in your cooling system. it is a very good idea to flush you cooling system every so often i do mine on my car every 2 years. this is because when anti freeze breaks down it becomes acidic. just food for thought guys

 

True. The Honda Pro Engine coolant (the blue bottle) is pre-mixed. It's the only stuff I've used.

What's the recycling laws for engine coolant? Does coolant need to be recycled?

 

yes, needs to be recycled...or taken to the city/county waste center.
auto places won't take them back...which is lame.
