By any chance does anyone know what temperature the radiator fans come on? Its probably one of those things that is working just fine but am always looking for something to be wrong. I havent seen them go on yet but my bike seems to run fine, and I've gotten it up to about 211F so I dont know if it turns on later than that or if they dont work and the fluid has just been working fine. also if they didnt work would I get a service light?
211 F is about 100C, my fan comes on at 101C, temp never gets above 103C and I ride in air temp of 50C.
So I see no issues
BTW optimum running temp is 88 C
As for the light .good question I don't know? But I do know if temp gets to 126C STOP, let it tick over and cool down.

Awesome thank you so much! I might just throw it into Celsius now... Fahrenheit never made sense anyway

Usually at the top of the apple tree.
M, my fan kicks in at 97C and goes off at 94C. It only really kicks in if I'm stopped in traffic.
The running temp doesn't get above 82C when on the move.
The air temp rarely gets above mid 20s.
BTW it did run much cooler without the rad guards fitted.

Hem I wonder why I don't see mine turn on? I'll have to try and figure out if anything is wrong with them, though I'm a little skeptical to pull it apart myself if nothing is wrong. I would think I would get a message if it over heats though. Or possibly a light if there's something wrong with the radiator.
