Engine temperature
« on: May 31, 2011, 03:10:16 PM »
Does any one knows the temperature in Fahrenheit  that represent each segment in the temperature Gauge, how many degrees is when the segment below the center line in the Gauge and the one over the center line? here in south Florida at temperatures around 85 Fahrenheit  and at highway speeds of 80 MPH my connie Gauge show the segment below the center line and as soon i  get off to city traffic it climb to the next segment and the fan begins to turn on and off

I would not even worry about it.  In Atlanta stop and go traffic in +100 degree heat every day, mine has never gone to full bars.  The cooling system is very good on this bike.  My fans don't cycle until 1 bar above center.

Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me, I want people to know "why" I look this way. I've traveled a long way and some of the roads weren't paved.
