Hi guys, not sure how many of you have a temperature gauge installed for the coolant and wondering about the operating temperature of your bike.
I had a full exhaust system installed including a remap of the ECU and think the bike is running slightly hotter... Guys at the shop said it should not as the engine is running richer now so over all should run cooler.
I took the bike today for a longer ride during the day, temperature was about 30c, while going about 50-60km (some slow downs due to a bit of congestion) the temperature was between 90-94C. Would go down to 85C when doing about 80-90km/h. Fan does kick in at about 102C displayed when stopped. I am pretty sure that prior to my exhaust installation and remapping I could get it to 86c just by going at about 60km. I'll be heading to Cambodia next month where it's gonna be even hotter and riding at higher speeds will not always be possible... Or am I just being paranoid?
