Any Fzs1000 gen 1 riders with a temperature gauge fitted. Riding my bike in 17°C the other day and the temp indicated about 68°. As the outside temperature increased the coolant temp increased to about a steady 80°. I thought maybe the thermostat was stuck open but I've taken it out and tested it and it's working correctly.
On my Blackbird once warmed up the temp is a steady 79° to 83° whatever the air temperature.
Is this normal for the Fazer?
I have no idea.....my Fazer thou has no temp gauge fitted, so no way to check, but during the 180,000 miles we've travelled together it's never overheated despite the fan rarely having to kick in. Variation in cooling system design, radiator size, ambient temp, air flow and engine load/power output will all have a an affect on engine temperature. Comparing other bikes, my TRX850s [both of them] always seems to run relatively cool, as they do have temp gauges.
