Overheating problem

**rpm boy** · 05-01-2010 10:41 PM

Mine went right into the red on my mc19 today trying to get through the m5 tunnell but is fine when it's being risen normally. also oberheats when in traffic sometimes but most of the time not.... Got me stumped

if it overheats while moving probably the thermostat is blocked ?

well when moving no but crawling in the 100 degree bumper to bumper m5 tunnell it was getting hella hot, as soon as i got out of the tunnell went back to normal so NFI

perry thats absolutly normal.
i have a 600rr and in traffic it heats up to 110degrees as soon as i start moving it drops to about 90. i also used to have your same bike in the past and rode it to work. same thing happens.
nothing is wrong with your bike.

as long as the temp drops while you're moving it should be ok... these lil engines do tend to heat up when not getting enough cool air. in saying that quite a while back my lil ninja did heat up quite often and it was blown head gasket... 800 bux to fix not easy to swallow when these learner bikes are worth less that 5000 :-(

yeah man happens to me too gets really hot when your stuck in traffic but as soon as theres airflow it'll drop

(Don't forget your sitting in a massive invisible cloud of exhaust fumes in traffic)
if it heats up in traffic its normal but if it happens while your riding thats when you have a situation

Mine used to hit red before. But then i took it to the mechs n now it only goes less then 3/4. Previous owner didnt take care of it n left the coolant to go off

Apparently the fan is set to turn on roughly at a temp of 100deg. So obviously the bike will feel pretty dayum hot before u start moving n feeding that airflow in.

Hope this helps
