& how hot is too hot !? :confused

just curious... commuting in London yeserday & today from Leytonstone to Chelsea & vice versa... temp is generally 78-82 degrees... hope this is good for very slow moving traffic !? :biggrin

also... once off 'cold'... is it then safe to ride away... its generally on 43 degrees !? :confused


ps will have lots of other silly questions coming... lol !! :nana
 
Yeah, fans cut in about 94 degrees - rarely get them on though (I live in the country). I always try and warm mine up before I ride it as it tends to stall if not. You can move off with the fast-idle on if you need to. Your traffic temp sounds OK to me.
 
Pretty much the same. Ambient temp below 18C open road temp of the engine 76 - 77 ish.

When the fans are switched on your knees will know ;)
 
thanks guys... im still waiting for my fans to come on... highest its gone so far is 92 degrees... & that was crawling along @ a snails pace in non-moving bumper to bumper traffic because of demonstrations in parliment square !! :eatcorn

:biggrin
 
they are pretty sensitive to correct amount of oil and coolant, as i found out in Germany recently!! was at 115 c WITH fans on:eek2

Turns out i had a small crack in the reservoir!! Luckily, the guy who ran the hotel GAVE me his!! I've sent him some cash to replace it.....top bloke!

So, check your levels if it starts running hot!!!!
