hi guys, i got 2004 R6
i bought this bike and change radiator water and checked the radiator but bike has too much temperature...its neve goes down 96degree...When i even go with 200kmh its like 100-1002degree....even on the 260kmh too :s :s
is it normal? r6 runs littlebit hot? my fan is neve close...because its always on 100-102degree....
i just change my oil too (Yamalube 15-50 4R)
its winter here..weather like 10-15degree...
so on summer we got 30c degree here...then i think my bike's fairing gonna melt

i love r6 but its running like hell

Damn that's slow, you need NOS energy in your gas tank.

I normally work on cars, but have you checked your thermastat? It might be out, in which case it's probably stuck on half way open, barely allowing coolant to flow to the engine cooling it off.

Check that and then let us know.

Check your headlight fluid, left side in particular. The left headlight is always on, and this causes the fluid to heat up. When the fluid gets too hot, it won't allow the radiator to cool off.

Check it and report back.
