I have found when going 50+ mph the water temp stays in the 180-190 range but you get into stop and go traffic and on a 90+ degree day the water temp goes up to 210+ (think the hottest I've seen it is 212) and when the fan kicks on and my legs are burning up, I have had hot bikes but damn this thing really blows some hot air on my legs. I did take mine off-road a little yesterday and of course, the temps went up then as well. I am not bashing the bike at all, I love it and will ride the hell out of it just wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same.


Got back in the woods and found a nice shady spot to re-hydrate

 

Yes I agree-should not have so much heat from a water cooled bike.. On the exhaust side I don't know if anything short of a CAT delete is going to solve it. On the fan side, some sort of small deflector against the engine and before the coil, pushing air away from the bike at 45 degrees might be a solution. The actual heads don't get that hot and don't need the direct airflow from the fan.

 

There's a pic on one of the Pan Am FB groups where a guy "rigged" a deflector for the fan air diversion

 

Highest temp I have seen was during stop and go traffic in town on a 95+ day... 224 degrees

 

I found the pic I was referring to in my earlier post:

 

Damn...guess if it hasn't blown up getting up that high isn't a big deal...?

 

Check your coolant level, when my bike was stupid hot it turned out I was ridiculously low on coolant out of factory or due to a coolant issue I've heard of but have no information on

 

Made the dealer check all levels…

 

232 the day I purchased it, from Biloxi, MS to NWFL.
I guess I need to check the fluid level, and more than likely find some coolant.

 

Thanks, That's the sort of thing I can imagine but not execute. A single piece of carbon fiber at the same angle might do it. I'm guessing that basically eliminates heat issues on that side of the bike -- what does the owner say?
