165 in the winter, up to 216 in the summer at a stop light.

I agree with jman. In stop and go traffic or slow travel in low gears mine runs 200 plus. Out in the open with more air the temp goes down.

 

[luckyirishboy209]

it get about 97* out here. and at a stop lite my bike run about 214* that that wasnt too bad but just wondering

While traveling...mine's usually around 170 - 175.

God this Fahrenheit is difficult to understand!!! haha.

Mine was 72 (161F) to 74 (165F) degrees Celcius normally but since I changed the oil its about 80 (176F).

Sitting in traffic it gets to over 100 celcius (212F).

Bloody heck...Celcius is easier to understand!! 0 = water freezes and 100 = water boils...haha...

Scorph, I agree celcius is easier... but when do we ever do anything the easy way?
Mine cruising (~90F outside temp) is around 187F sitting at a light once, I watched it climb to 230F! That when I realised that my fan wasn't working... I think around 235 the number will start to blink that is when you know you are overheating.










And in case you weren't sure... overheating=BAD

Hmm I seem to be missing something here, where do you find these temps? All I see is 2-4 bars on cold-hot days....

the newer ones have a digital readout...... sounds like time to upgrade!







Or buy a cheap water temp guage and find somwhere to mount it.
