What temp should you be running during 50 degree weather? I was running 225 today.

 

it all depends. what speed were you going and for about how long? i know once i get going and am consistently at 60 or 70 mph my bike is anywhere between 168 and 180. your temp sounds kinda high!

 

I was just riding in town there was a lot of traffic. I also posted "Problem" could it be that?If there is a problem what should I check?

 

In traffic thats perfectly normal, ive only had my bike 3 month but figured you have to start going around 25-35mph for the temp to even start dropping. Outside weather temp doesnt really matter, this was at 48degrees haha

 

im going with him ^ thats about how mine is urs is running really high i would check that out but if your in traffic then its normal i can split lanes around 30-35 and then it starts to cool but when im going slower it heats up quick to 225 then fan kicks on

 

but if ur in bloomington il how do u hit bad traffic im from decatur

 

I live in Atlanta and it's about 30-40 degrees...I found my bike temp getting up to 225 degrees in traffic. I was wondering if it was normal...guess it is....

I plan to flush out the rad this weekend and replace it was "engine ice", hoping this will help...anyone tried this before?

 

Not bad traffic just some traffic alot of stop lights and stop signs.

 

After i've been riding a while maybe 30 minutes or so when i come to a stop it'll heat up around ~225 but hasnt gone any higher than that.

 

225's like the region where the fan kicks on... so if you're stop and go, at some point your coolant will heat up to 225 and then not go too much higher... if it's 30 out then it'll take longer than when it's 50, but eventually with no wind cooling the radiator the temp will go to 225 until the fan kicks on and cools it.
normal.
