Just purchased a 2000 r6. Was wondering what the normal running temp is? I was riding for about 30 minutes and the temp got up to about 215. Is that normal?

Thanks, Josh

 

215 while you were riding or while you were out in the heat, at a stop light? riding i would say no, stop light or stop and go traffic very normal

 

Sounds normal to me... My GSX-R1000 gets up to around 225 if I am stopped before the fan kicks in and brings it back down. It runs anywhere from 165 to 210 depending on the air temp.

 

When I was riding it was about 200 and while stopped it got up to around 215 so I guess thats normal......thanks for the quick replys

ideal running temp is between 180-190.....anything over 225-235 is hot but as long as it comes down once you start moving you are ok.... you might want to run it for 25-30min the take it home and see if your fans kick in at 225.

check your fluids and hoses too.

p.s. if you just bought it it might have race fuel in it and that will make it run a little hot, but it will make it run better....

 

do all bike fans kick in at 225? cuz i know thats when hondas do for the most part but same as other brands?

 

I'm pretty sure mine are like 215-225

 

yea your a honda i think all hondas come on about 225 i am curious about other makes any ideas?
