Mine runs about the same in those conditions. the only time I see the 220's is sitting in traffic.

I don't think these gauges are accurate. On my car, I have a fan temp switch that is designed to kick on at 190 degrees. The digital gauge from a 98 fireblade reads well into the 200's when the fan kicks in.

Fan kicks on at 215. normal temp is 179-185. Conditions causing higher engine temps would be hot ambient temps, pushing the engine, bad coolant, etc.

if any of you have jetted your bike make sure that it is not running lean because mine was jetted wrong and it ran lean and hot all the time.

I had a 954 that would run about 190 when it was 100 degrees outside and it would get up to 220 in traffic. My 1000 is pretty much the same, these sport bikes just run hot.

Unless the bike is idling, the temp. shouldn''t go up from its normal range, which can be varies for each bike; because it depends on the engine speed, weather, coolant, engine oil and how efficent is the radiator as well. I believe it should varies from 180 to 200.
For myself, which using a analog meter, I don''t mind as long as it didn''t touch the red line. Normal temp. will be slightly almost to middle line and during idling it will rise slightly higher than that.

we have the same problem here in Venezuela. heavy traffic, slow riding in the city and lights. i hate seeing mine by the H mark. had bad experinces in the past. i made a double fan assy to fit mine, helps a lot. i also found and lost a link about a double thickness radiator, some racing style rad, could really do with that as well. mind you, the distance from the rad to the downpipes is not a lot so that may also go aginst rising temps.
