2005 S1, 50,000 miles
Observation - For a few months now, bike seems to take longer to warm up. Recently, if ridden as soon as the tach stops blinking, it will start blinking again in a few minutes of riding. After that it goes solid and stays there. Also recently, once warm up is done and idle settles around 1300rpm, after some time riding (30 minutes ish) idle seems to race when at idle at a light.
1500, 1600 rpm ish.
There is no perceptible performance issues or odd sounds, but fuel mileage seems off, but that could be me
Cooling system is topped up, overflow is good and I get nice hot hoses once warmed up.
I am guessing that I have a thermostat that is stuck partially open, Either that or the temp sensor is failing.
This weekend I planning on delving into this, so I figured I would reach out see what the FZ6 universe had to offer as advice before I began.
Thanks
