High tempretures

[Frank-RR]

Hi, just recently got the BMW, I have only had managed to get out a few times, the last couple of times it was scorching (yes we had sun, in Scotland), the bike ran at about 78 degrees(like my fireblade), when I slowed down through villages etc, the tempretures went up quickly hitting about 100-3, fan on, is this the norm, or is rad needing a blast through the fin's with a hose, I have also fitted a rad guard.

Any thoughts

Mine runs around those temperatures most of the time, I wouldn't worry about it. The frame gets pretty hot too, I keep burning my fingers on it!

If there was a serious overheating issue your warning light would come on on your dash

Mine does that too
Fan comes on at 100

They run hot but not like a Ducati...

Mine gets up to 103 regularly in heavy traffic. Never goes higher with the engine running.

Sounds exactly right to me frank, nothing to be concerned about.
