2018 gen3 5k miles. I know the ambient is warm at the moment the bike is constantly cycling between 109 and 96ish. The fan seems effective and brings it down quite quickly, but I don?t remember so much fan activation on the previous gen3. I checked the reservoir, and it?s just below/on the minimum. The coolant looks totally clear, I thought it was coloured though!
So topping up is required, though I doubt that?ll help as it?s just within limits. So questions:
Is the std coolant clear?
Is there a dodge to get around taking the fairing off (I?m very lazy...)?
Will anything do from Halfords?
It does run a bit rough when hot, esp when trawling through traffic, almost stalling at times. I think that?s a super lean mapping though and it clears when a bit of open road comes up.
Any input appreciated as always!
 
It's an easy fairing off job. 5/6 flanged hex bolts and thats it.

Thanks both. All sorted with a quick trip to the dealer who topped it up. It was well below the min, not had that before.
