What are you standard running temps?

Sitting at lights? and crusing?

Just picked up a used 04 gixxer and Im woundering if its running a little to warm.
Peaked through the fairing to look at the cool fan, it wasnt running while idleing.

Any comments are thanked.

185-190 is normal riding temp.

220-225 is normal temp for stop-n-go or sitting at a light.

Looks like i am in the correct range then.

As far as the cooling fan not running while idleing?
is that normal

The fan only comes on at temperatures above either 200 degrees, 215 degrees, 220 degrees, or 225 degrees (I cannot remember which is the exact number when it clicks on but I know it is in the 200s - someone will state the exact temperature I am sure). Your bike sounds like it is working fine...

I believe its 240 or 235 for the fan.

Is it that high? But either way, AJ5186, what do you mean your fan does not turn on when it's idle? Do you mean the engine is started? Or you are just sitting with the bike turned on, but the engine is not started? The fan should turn on when the engine is not running.

No I am pretty sure it is around 220 degrees if not 220 exactly...

240 is too high...

220 (or right around there) is when the fan comes on!!!! 240 is way too high! DAMN! I'm sweating for the Gix that has a 240 fan! OUCH!

Tampon boy is right....fan kicks on at 220.

 

[GSXR_ROB]

OK............ WARMER!

Yo biatch, I called 220 first...

Well you said "pretty sure"....which doesn't sound too confident to me.

actually, the fan is activated at EXACTLY 219.75 degrees... it's just by the time the fan clicks and starts moving it shows 220.
