Hey there,
1st time on this forum, although was on the yuku one a fair bit.
My FZ6 S2 doesn't seem to get very hot for a modern engine. At the moment it is struggling to reach about 70°C during normal riding. Is this really the thermostat temperature? I would have expected 90°C as normal operating temperature. Over summer, it didn't get much hotter.
The only time it heats up is if i stop, then the fan will kick in at 100ish indicated, so I am confident the gauge is correct. It will drop back down to 70ish when going again.
It feels like the thermostat is either stuck open a bit or leaking slightly, I just wanted to check that this isn't normal before draining it and changing the thermostat.
Running too cold is bad for the engine, so I want to get this sorted (if it is a problem!).
What temperature does your FZ6 run at...?
Thanks
Ed
