Hey guys, I just went for a 30 minute ride today and I noticed that my temp gauge is running extremely hot. I just swapped out the old 6year old coolant with Water Wetter just 2 days ago and burped the thing until the coolant didn't go down. I didn't go for a ride thought but I did run the bike for a good bit before turning it off and rechecking the coolant level, all seems fine.
I was just on the freeway at night (it was cold) and my engine was wandering from 188+ to 200 degrees from just traveling at 65 miles per hour... that striked me as funny because my old engine coolant ran me at a decent 188.... i thought water wetter would make the temperature drop but instead it raised the average temperature by 10 degrees.
Any solutions to this? I'm cracking off the fairing tomorrow to have another look at the coolant level to see if it's filled up all the way or not... do you think there's like an air bubble trapped in there or something?
I would accelerate and every second I do it raises a temp point... and if i just let it idle it runs around 185... this is most terrible
BTW i used the Water Wetter premade mix and the coolant reservoir is at the Full line with Water wetter too.
