running temp 2007 gen 2

hi chaps , after having a stator melt down last year after doing a lot of miles in blistering heat in france ,Italy and Switzerland .

im now keeping a close eye on the engine temp as I think this contributed to the electrical probs I had .and the fact that the stator relies on oil to keep it cool .

I have noticed that even in 30 deg air temp provided im doing about 60 /70 ish engine temp is about 77 to 80 degrees which is fine .

but pootling along in towns and slow traffic the engine temp rockets to 99 degrees and the fans cut in , im now finding this a bit alarming .

what sort of temeratures are you lot getting in similar situations ????????.

I have recently drained and flushed out the cooling system and replaced the coolant with the pink stuff ,it was well "burped " so I know there are no air locks and

the coolant levels over 1300 miles have maintained pretty constant .

hs , thanks for reply . I have checked in the hand book and this is within normal running temps and compares exactly the same as a friends gsxr1000 !!!

I always use fully synth too of the correct grade . im just a bit paranoid now I guess !!!!!
