engine temp

Post by Target30 »

What is a good running and idling temperature for a 600? I need an actual temperature, not between low and high on the guage! I ask because I have a veypor gauge, with no temp on it obviously, but i have a daytona digital temp guage. i havent ridden yet, but i get it up pretty high on the temp gauge idling. just wondering if anyone knows an actual temp range that i should be aiming for.
I did that.

Hi, mine does 165 180 depending on our lovely weather it takes a little time to warm up to the 180 mark.
