Thats right, Paragon!
Something I noticed this weekend.
I took the Fz out for a quick spin on Sunday and I just happened to switch to the air temperature display and was shocked that it was reather high. As I was cruising it was anywhere between 109 and 113 degrees F.
I know that its usually a little bit higher than the outside air temp, but this was much much more than normal. Especially since the daytime high was about 55 Degrees F. Closer to the evening when temps were dipping near 40 degrees the air temp reading cooled only to about 109.
The bike really didnt seem to run any different than normal. Started normally, did everything else normally. Coolant temp was also normal running about 160- 170ish deg during the ride.
I'll maybe presume that the high air intake temp reading may have altered the air/fuel ratio a little bit? I did manage about 51 mpg, which is a bit higher than the religious 44-46mpg that I get.
