Temperature concerns

[orlando]

My 2015 tends to run cool(100 f degrees above ambient air). At 90f ambient, it goes beyond 210 at traffic light. Any ideas?

Sounds about right if you ask me.

If the cooling fan cuts in and drops the temp down until the fan stops I wouldn't worry about it sounds normal to me.

Perfectly normal. My 2015 model has always ran about 100-110F above ambient temperature.

All good. I think the thermostat location makes it very sensitive to temp changes.  My FJ heats up quickly at a stop light to over 200 and once the fans come on drops quickly also.

And 100 f over ambient seems about normal when running 45mph or more.

The FJ has a BIG radiator for its displacement and all three cylinders out in the wind.

I had similar issues with my 2015 FJ09, and because of a few other issues, I took it to 2Wheel Dynoworks in Seattle for a Flash. They had a list of things they have done with other FJ09 motorcycles, and they asked me a few questions to get an idea about what I wanted done. They knew all the issues that other riders had complained about, so they aren't starting from scratch and the new settings made the FJ09 much more comfortable to ride. The new settings were appropriate to me. (they also do mail in service if you aren't in the Seattle area) and I'm pretty sure there are other shops in other states/cities that can help if you just want a flash. 

The flash makes a huge difference in how the bike rides, well worth looking into.....
