operating temperature ZX6RR 03

[MrFaulty]

Hi, I just bought a 2003 ZX6RR, what temp should they run at - mine was anywhere between 69-89 degrees and it even got as hot as 99 when sitting in the traffic - I have to check maybe the thermo isn't working?

the thermo will kick in at about 100... ive not seen my bike go over 105... everything is normal...

All good.....
mild day = 70-80 deg. C
hot day = 80-100 deg. C
Fan should cut in around 103 deg. C. and cut out around 91 deg. C.

my fan cuts in and out at 100

my fan cuts in and out at 100

If it does that, it's not working properly !

why? if its above 100 its too hot and the fan cuts in, if its below 100 its acceptable and the fan cuts out... done it since the day i got it...

.... just quoting the manual.

"When the coolant temperature goes up beyond 95 ∼ 101°C (203 ∼ 214°F), the radiator fan switch
conducts to operate the radiator fan. The radiator fan draws air through the radiator core when there
is not sufficient air flow such as at low speeds. This increases up the cooling action of the radiator.
When the coolant temperature goes down from the operation temperature by 3 ∼ 8°C (37 ∼ 46°F), the
fan switch opens and the radiator fan stops."
