This afternoon after a spirited ride we stopped for a few minutes before starting the engine again (FZ6S2) and the temperature warning light came on and the temperature was 116degC.
Luckily the temperature went back to its normal 85-90 straight away as soon as I got going again but I have noticed if I am stuck in traffic on a hot day that it can rise to >105 and the fan doesnt come on- what temperature should the thermostat cut the fan in and does it/ should it also run off the battery so that it will cool the engine with the ingnition off?
Cheers
