jonsmyth Posted October 29, 2009 Share #1 Posted October 29, 2009 My 87 starts to get real warm if i let it idle more than a few minutes. Of course, it's been hot here in Florida, but still. I just cleaned out a bunch of gunk, flushed and filled the radiator a month ago. ideas? Thanks, guys (and er, gals!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiCarl Posted October 29, 2009 Share #2 Posted October 29, 2009 What is real warm? It should climb to about red on the gauge, then the fan kicks on and it shouldn't get any hotter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonsmyth Posted October 29, 2009 Author Share #3 Posted October 29, 2009 I have not let it go into the red yet. I'll see if the fan does it...Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snaggletooth Posted October 29, 2009 Share #4 Posted October 29, 2009 Also double check and make sure the control valve on the coolant system is at the "off" position. You probably turned it when you flushed the system. Some people forget to turn it back. Just worth checking on. And if your not getting into the red in warm weather in your neck of the woods, your are probabaly in fine shape. These bike do show a bit high on the gauge as it is.

Vonwolf Posted October 30, 2009 Share #5 Posted October 30, 2009 Some times it gets 3/4 the way to red but it calms down a little. I defiantly runs hot in the summer. Good luck Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
