Just got an '08 FZ6 after my FZ1 got crashed, and so far its pretty good, except the heat!
Texas is extremely hot this year, so in the approx 100-105 degree weather, my bike is running about 187-193 F on the highway. From what I have found on the forum, that seems about normal, but it is miserable to ride, especially long distances, with that heat going to my legs and I'm worried the bike will oveheat in stop and go traffic. This temp looks so weird, especially coming from my FZ1 which would be in the 170s riding around, and never went past 210 (also somehow I would feel the heat less on that bike?).
Are there any known cooling upgrades available? Maybe a radiator/fan from a different bike? Only thing I can think of to try is a coolant flush and use engine ice but that's about it. Would some aftermarket lower fairings help reduce the heat I'm feeling on my legs?
