    Another dumb newb question - cooling fans?

    Hello all - Took a ride today; it was about 87F (HOT for mid-September in New England). The coolant temp on the Tuono (2015 1000cc) never got above 215, even stopped in traffic. It's much better in this regard than my FZ1, which had an R1 engine but a smaller radiator than the R1 - it...

    another dumb question...

    Took my 2007 Tuono for its first ride tonight. AWESOME BIKE!!!! The roads had wet spots, so I went really easy. Cant wait to actually ride it. A red light comes on in the instrument cluster around 6500 rpms. Is that a shift light, or is it redline? I don't want to hurt my new baby.....

    A really, really dumb question

    I get that when starting from cold you have the start lever fully open and adjust to bring the idle under control after started. When up to temp (stopping for a drink on a ride then setting off again) should the bike just fire from the button, or should it still need a bit of the lever? Ive...

    Now I feel dumb...

    Ok, once again turning to the collective masses(and smarter than me) for insight... I did a recent coolant flush on 07 T... drained it from the left side of the radiator, and replaced with Engine Ice... Had a buddy ask me how I got the old coolant out of the engine... Now I feel dumb...

    Dumb Question's or are they?

    Okay I had a good chance to to become reaquainted with "Frankie" today and by and large it was a good experience (damn never thought I would say that :eatcorn). One thing I noticed more than most was a vibration (but not harsh or very strong) around 3-4000 rpm and sometime depending on the gear...
