when your riding lots wuts your normal running temp????
been riding an 03 600rr the temp stays around 210 to 225 and seems to me like the fan is ON more than its off even in the evening when its cooler
just wondering im used to my F4i which stays pretty cool in the lots even when its 'HOT'

 

Thats normal i think! I ride one of them bikes like 6-7 hours a day in heavy traffic and 100 to 106 is the normal temperature for the bike(Celsius that is)! The fan would start at 106 and stop when its down to 102!

 

Unless the fan comes on and stays on, its fine. 210-225 is normal operating temperature.

 

Hard wire your fan to a switch..it will stay cooler longer....mine was always running real hot...228 - 242 is what it was now it stays around 224 and it takes a while to get to 240s..

 

What radiator fluid are you using? I use that orange stuff and it helps a lot. Doesn't over heat and I don't have the fan hardwired.

 

Everyone of my friends 600rr's run hot

they don't even stunt.. But I ALWAYS hear their fan in heavy traffic, or in parking lots..

And I sometimes ride with a group of about 8 600rr's.. And they all always have their fans on!



Whereas I can go about 5-10 minutes in the lot on my f4i, before I gotta turn the fan on for about 2 minutes..

 

2 words... ENGINE ICE!

 

engine ice helps....also

+1 Farley!

 

Thanks for all the info fellas, so Sic J u use the orange dex-cool coolant? never heard anyone doin that

 

I just remembered the name of it. Its called Liquid Performance. In my experiences, its worked a lot better than Engine Ice. Its like $18 a bottle and you need like 1 1/2 bottles.

 

My 03 600rr runs pretty hot like 225 to 240 when im running it real hard, but thats as hot as it has ever gotten and it still runs like a champ!

 

I have an 03 w/ 30k miles no heating probs when riding but in traffic or lots same story. 220 deg +
