The bike will run normally around 80 degrees.
In traffic it might go to 110, but this is normal. The fan would come on about 100-105.

Scorps, your temp readings sound fairly normal for the ambient temp and a spot of slow riding. Yup, GSXR fans @ 104 -105 cut in. Go off @ 96.

Yep sounds right........
Start in the garage and leave it ticking over till the fans kick in to check they are working ......Might be why it overcooked

we was thinking of that baldy, we know the fuses are okay though so hoping fans okay too. might get steve to do it tonight rather than him playing all evening on his metallica guitar hero game
