I have just bought my first r1, has been my dream bike for years but a first ride and it over heated!
It only happens at idle when stopped. If I am riding and moving it sits around 100 - 106c . If it hits 107c thermo fan kicks in. When I stop it quickly climbs in just seconds to 117 (warning light comes on) and up, highest I have seen is 126c!
I have found if at idle I keep the revs above 2000rpm then it will not get any hotter than when the bike is moving! If I'm at lights and it goes up to 117c I twist the throttle to give 2000 or just over and down the temp goes!
This is realty bugging me, any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.
