ok i did do a quick search for this but came up with nothing.. and plus i got really bad sun burn yesterday so i am being lazy. anyways my question is wen the air temp is around 70-80 degrees out wat should my bike normally run in engine temp? i took a short ride the other day and it was around 168-170 driving 55-60 mph

well it was about 95-100 degrees this weekend... my bike ran about 180-183 at cruising speed. and my fan doesn't kick on till I'm in stopped traffic and it gets to about 214 degrees.

If your running around town your temp should stay right under the point when the fan kicks on. 167-170 is normal temperatures running at highway speeds.

Your temps in town will vary depending upon outside temps and traffic. Your temps seem normal to me.

yea, nothing out of the ordinary with those numbers, sounds like your coolant system is doing its job
