whats average running temperature? took mine out for a blast today after putting new coolant in after my egg run fiasco and it was a constant 75-78 at speed and crept up to 87 when riding at about 25-30mph, fan looks fine etc but it dont kick in at any point, Ive got a haynes manual somewhere but i cant flippin find it!!

ta very muchly

you aint got an airlock in it somewhere? my k4 sits at between 76moving-80 town trundling.doug

The bike will run normally around 80 degrees.
In traffic it might go to 110, but this is normal. The fan would come on about 100-105.

thank you chaps, seems all is normal then as it didnt go high enough for the fan to kick in,

Mine (600K1) runs a bit lower than that normally around 60C on the motorway

Scorps, your temp readings sound fairly normal for the ambient temp and a spot of slow riding. Yup, GSXR fans @ 104 -105 cut in. Go off @ 96.

Yep sounds right........ Start in the garage and leave it ticking over till the fans kick in to check they are working ......Might be why it overcooked

we was thinking of that baldy, we know the fuses are okay though so hoping fans okay too. might get steve to do it tonight rather than him playing all evening on his metallica guitar hero game

tis a good game mind
