Does the fan come on? Full on coolant? Any leaks?
No leaks noticed, fan does turn on but like at 225ish use to turn on at 215 exactly
Should turn on at 214. Sounds like an issue there.
Seems like it, idk what tho, everything seems fine, still rides great, just that whole temp thing trips me out
Yeah I wouldn’t let it get that warm if it was mine. I’d fix it before riding it to much more.
I’ve herd some people have their bikes at that temp, guess i gotta tripple check everything
what’s the outside temperature? Was it warmer today or where you in more traffic then normal?
Oh its been like this regardless of outside temp, but its been like this when its 80-110 outside
when last you change your coolent?
back in march
well i got similar problems twice due to 2 different cause 1. the mechanic didn’t premix the coolant, the overheating started after few hundreds miles 2.bubles, you gonna need to do release the air stuff not sure what they call lol, if you tune your bike that could be another reason
Check your coolant level that could do it
Make sure there’s no air in the system. An air pocket can cause all kinds of bullshit. If you’re still running corn that it came with from the factory, change that and look into changing your thermostat. Add some liquid ice and along with that service. I had the same issue with my 2004 but flush out the system, add a new coolant along with liquid ice, and I haven’t seen it get past 225 yet on the hottest day.
My bike started doing this because of a bad eBay radiator. It would run at 210 plus on open highway and shoot to 230 at stop lights fast as hell. But it sounds like your fan is coming on late. Have you tested the temp sensor out?
