Temperature Guage Glitch

[adiredneck]

Anyone else ever have this problem?

I started the bike the other night, rode about three miles & filled up. Took off for a ride, about 6-7 miles into the ride, I look down & the temp gauge reads 76 degrees. Temp wasn't gaining. I knew the bike was up to temp, could feel the heat underneath me.

I reached down, cycled the key off & then back on & the gauge immediately hit 170 degrees.

Weird. Hasn't happened again & I am thinking it's just a CPU glitch.

Perhaps you hit the reset button and switched the display to intake air temp? That's how it works on a '07 anyways ...

Actually I did have it happen once to me. And, it happened right after a fill-up. Mine read like 96F for a while. I don't recall if it corrected itself while I rode or after a stop and start. But I figured it had something to so with the cold gas going into the engine.

Hasn't happened since.

I don't have an engine coolant temp readout on my 06 It just has bars. I do have an air intake temp readout if I put it in that mode. Do any of you have an actual eng. coolant temperature readout besides bars?

all you did was hit the reset button while it was in the the odo setting and changed the temp guage over to outside air temp the. 07 FZ has it if you shut the bike off it will change back to engine temp

Well now I know. That was probably it. Thanks!

Oh.

Mine is a 2009. Almost 1000 miles on it.

That's definetly what must have happened because I reset both trip odometers at each fillup to track milage. I didn't even know we could switch to air temp. Cool!!

The owners manual is a nice relaxing read. :spank:

my "air intake" reading is always wack.

i have been doing all sorts of rides in all sorts of cold places.
and the lowest it gets is 16'

At idle, it reads about 22' in winter!!!

Surely this is not normal?

This is because the intake air is passing through the radiator and around the engine picking up heat before the intake. It is usually about 10 deg. f above ambient.

Actually I did read the MOM but don't recall seeing that. Guess it's even more relaxing the second time you read it.

I had a strange one the other day...

After getting quite hot sat in traffic, my '09 fazer temp guage had a little moment. Effectively it read A36! I wasn't sure if it was a fault code but after switching off and on again it clesred! Strange.
