cb250rr......temp heating up.....wierd

[Gankaz]

its wierd.....i noticed today, my bike went to red while sitting in traffic

if i rev it it actually goes down, or cools down then it would slowly go back up..........is there something wrong with my temp gauge??


help pls! thx!

Doh this post is from Gordo using Gonzo's log in



does your electric fan come on when the temp rises ???

If not maybe when it was in the shop they may not have reconnected the fan switch which is mounted on the radiator...or possibly check the fuses ect...

If the fan is comming on ok then maybe you coolant level is low,maybe the system has an air lock in it or your thermostat has jammed closed ect....

you can check the operation of the fan by pulling the plugged connector off the radiator heat sencing switch and bridging the 2 connectors and with the ignition switched on the fan SHOULD run ....

see how you go

lol i've got no idea what you just said then heheheh


i think i better take it back to the shops heheheh but is the temperature meant to go down as you rev the engine? (clutch pulled in)

:?

As Gordo said
Sounds more like the cooling
system has an air lock in it -
if you can rev while still stationary
and the temp goes down
Should be under waranty
if u just got it out of the shop anyway
Not supose to ride it if its hitting the red
See doc immediately

lol just got off the phone with the guy who sold the bike to me (causeway motorcycle) n hes sayin that it should be alright and its normal. but asked me to come in so he can have a look when i can. But hes sayin its normal...... :shock:

but honestly im not paticularly comfortable with an overheating bike n a tank full of fuel right infront of my *ahem*.... :roll:

[Dejavu]

Overheating cooling Sys.

Demand satisfaction

[Dejavu]

It shouldnt obviously be hitting red. BUt if you've been riding and then u have to sit in heavy traffic then it is obviously gonna heat up. It just shouldnt be hitting the red thats all. Prolly a thermostat problem.

THats why u lane split so ya bike dont heat up as much!
