Hi gang, after the last weekend's outing w/ some of the guys, motojoe pointed out that my engine temp seemed a little high; whenever I come from almost anything short of a freezing or 5 minute ride, my engine temp ala the S2 gauge reads low 200, shoots to around 225 (with fan on at over 200), then after a few minutes trickles down.
I don't always have time or patience to wait and can't imagine it being healthy for the battery.
So my question to you fine people, what temps do you generally see after a ride? Joe sees around 200 or just below, we both have practically the same bike (year, faired, both have chin fairings).
P.S. Its been this way for 4 years since I got the bike, and a full coolant flush last season made no difference at all; so I assumed it was normal.
Thanks!
