Hi guys! Last sunday I let the bike fall in the garage! from there the bike takes a long time to warm up! ok... Brazilian summer! 80ºF in the morning! after a long straight 160mp/h the bike started to fail in about 10000rpm I look to temperature's bike!! OMG! COLD COLD COLD COLD!!! in back , I noticed that the bike maintains a temperature of 155 ~ 158ºF In manual: Low Engine Temperature 1- Open thermostat 2- Defective engine coolant sensor 3- Defective fans fans are ok... | ||

bad thermostat = long warm up bad sender = slow no change in readings what are the readings when cold before engine start ? | ||

Sorry temperatures, when the bike is cold the intake air and coolant temperatures should be close and as the machine warms up they will change. If after about 2 ~ 3 minutes the engine temp is not up in the 170F range with 80F air temp sensor is likely bad, if the sensor was good and the thermostat was bad the machine will warm up slowly with the heads getting very hot ( poor flow ) or not warm at all too much flow the stat has a bypass so some coolant flows all the time, I would look for a disconnected or pinched wire.
