Temp on NC30
Hi Guys,
Wanted to find out whats the normal temp the NC30's run at during different driving conditions?
Im in Cape Town so its not always cold by us. Usually normal driving the temp sits quiet low and
when driving in between thick traffic it goes up till the 2nd line (90) mark and usually stays there.
However this morning driving in heavy traffic it went up until the half way mark. I was driving a bit hard before
hitting the traffic so she was prob a bit hot.
Can you maybe tell me whats the "normal" temp on the NC30 (Where the needle usually lays)?
Thanx!

Start worrying when it gets in the red!
Forget it otherwise, these engines run hot at low speed.

Re: Temp on NC30
do the "switch mod" for the fan, I have mounted one (will take a picture this evening and post it here).
When the temp goes above 90 in traffic (London), I flick the switch and within a few yards the temp goes back down to slightly above the 70 mark.

This is where the switch is, it is easy to reach while riding.
