I have a 2006 CBR1000RR, I am the third owner. However, everything seems to be in working order, but there is one thing that concerns me or bothers me while riding, especially in town.
On any given day, particularly high 70's or 80's weather, the bike seems to reach over 200 degrees pretty quickly while riding in stop and go traffic in town. As soon as I get out on open road and start to open it up, it quickly drops to around high 170's degrees.
The fan comes on as mentioned in the manual, which I believe is around 215 degrees or 220 degrees or something like that and shuts off when it cools down below those temps.
So, like I said, before it all seems to be in good working order.
But it kind of bothers me how quickly it heats up in traffic and even when it isn't a blistering day of high 80's or even in the 90's.
Is this normal or do I have something else going on with the motor?
Thanks in advance.
