Running temps

[Paul B]

Hi All, just a general question really , I'm running a 04 plate vtr and was wondering if anyone knew the running temps of the bike . Mine runs at about 80 to 90 degs whilst riding unobstructed , but regularly fits high 90's in town or even 100 plus at which point the fan kicks in , Ive checked the reservoir and its up in top limit , advice appreciated . Thanks Paul

Mines a 97 model and it is exactly the same.As long as the fan cuts in it should be OK.All perfectly normal evidently.I asked the very same question when I got my storm.

Nowt wrong with that, perfectly normal...at least you know the fan works...

Try posting in the correct section for future refrence 'workshop' would be best for questions like this...

Thanks both, if its normal great, just seemed hot , my old gsxr or Fireblade never got anywhere near that unless I left it running in the garage. Sorry for posting in the wrong room btw.
