[QUOTE="julimike54, post: 152155, member: 4126"] In answer to # of bars....86 Aspy, the bars when ideal riding condition, ie, not hot not cold, mine will run 3 bars, t'stat 200 degree, if I sit in traffic on a hot day can hit 6 bars. Yesterday rode all day (2 up) in 90+ temps, highway type driving, slowing/stopping in small towns the readout was pretty much 4 bars all day, peak was 5 bars, end of day idling in drive. Per manual normal operation is 2 to 8 bars. The other thing I found in manual pertaining to temps, a warning to not run coolant mix above 60% due to degradation of cooling capabilities. I think they saw problems above that point. What mixture are you running? The lower fairing pieces affect the ram air cooling force slightly. Can't really comment on heat as the engine covers I have make a large impact on that aspect, other than when I didn't have them, there is a ton of heat off the engine when riding in 90+ temps. The covers are designed to scoop air into and away from the engine block; and the air scoop below rad may force more air into rad, these too may effect bars I see. [/QUOTE]
