Running hot

I was just wondering what other 600RR's usually run at temperature wise. Mine runs kinda hot compared to my last bike. I've actually seen it get to 230 on a hot day at a stop light. Just wondering if that's normal because I checked the fluids and they were a little low but it still runs the same after I filled them up.

Yes, it is common on hot days for it to hit those temps. My bike will consistently go into the realm of 225 on a hot day when not moving.

BTW, the electric cooling fan kicks on at 219. That should give you an idea that it is normal.

that is faily normal for this bike. i changed my coolant to a product called engine ice, i was told it was really good so i tried it and my bike run around 200 normally and 210 on hot days, you could try it and see how your bike reacts.

I bet you get some pretty hot days in NM. That is normal for it to hit that temp. Once you get moving again it should cool down quite a bit.

177-185 from 30 MPH and up while sitting goes to 222 fan comes on drops to 214 and cuts off running the same as any car would I am also in IL and not seen over 85 F yet

I prob would not worry about unless it goes over 230's and does not drop that much during movement

I think I will try that cause it's not even really hot yet for NM and i've already seen it get to 230 on a day when it was only 77 or so. It should usually be in the high 90's within the next couple of months. Can't wait though, finally some sweet riding weather.
