    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...

    Well hello everyone. So I was out riding on a pretty hot day, I pulled over for a quick drink of water and went to start the ape back up and nothing.
