Now that the weather is warming up I was wondering how hot most pre-gen ninjettes run in hot weather. During the cooler months my bike has always run in the lower third to quarter of the operating range on the temp. gauge.
Since fully enclosing the front end of my bike it has begun running hotter, on hot days (~100*F.) getting almost to the upper limit of the temp. gauge operating range. I have opened up the air intake in front of my fairing but its still running in the upper third of the gauge range. I don't want to increase the internal airflow more than it is needed for adequate cooling so I was wondering what other ninjettes typically run at in the summer time.
thank you, GA
