Cooling issue

[frankym]

cycleguy, i may have missed this, but when your fan(s) come on, does it reduce the temperature? I agree with others that the 210-215 is not an issue. Guessing you are into motorcycles as well (cycleguy), as am I. 2 of my bikes are sport bikes, bmw s1000rr and honda vtr 996. Both are sport bikes, s1000rr is the highest horsepower (193) production bike in the world, although someone might argue that the highest HP claim goes to a bmw hp4 or or a ducati panigale r course. but anyways, both my bikes idling in the driveway at today's 15 degree F temperatures, the bikes get to about 218 degrees of water temp before the fans come on. The fans stay on until the water temp taken is around 195 if i recall correctly. If your water temp is getting to 210 to 220 and your fan comes on to cool it doesn some, then your engine is running and cooling properly.

If you are boiling over and the excess heat is causing electrical malfunction, then perhaps there is a problem, but from what i read, there is nothing to be worried about.
