Temperature gauge reading low..

[JTX]

....to me.


While riding in upper 60 low 70f temps the last two days in Arkansas, i noticed the temp indicator was only one bar past the temp icon.


I seem to remember it being in the 'middle' on previous rides but in warmer temps.  Is this typical? I know the temp gauge on a vehicle is a relative thing, but seems like most run in the middle.


When I stop it goes up, fans come on, all is good. Then goes back down to what would almost be a cold temp reading when you first start it.  But im curious if anyone else has similar reading on theirs.

Thermostat got stuck?    Maybe...

Man I hope not. Its only got 3000 on it.  And, when I sit idle, the temp goes up and fans come on as it should.


Its just weird to me to see a temp gauge read that low at normal operating condition.


I cant do much to look-see at this point while away from home.  Everything is working fine otherwise.   I'll have to poke around when I get back to TX and get it washed up.

Do you have the SISF Flash?  I rode today in south Arkansas, 84 degF outside and only got one bar up from the lowest indication. I didn't do much stopping but I never saw the temp gauge get above that one marker as you describe. I don't know what it means, if anything.

Normal, also all this rain we're having is keeping the temp down.

What part of AR are you in? Rain is supposed to quit tonight.

Deep southeast corner. Man, we got hammered with rain yesterday but today has been fairly nice.

[JTX]

No flash here.  Im in Mtn View.

Its been a wet two days, but we rode anyway. BIke is a mess!

[Just Cliff]

Mtn. View is just up the road from me. I ride those roads often. Stay another day & I'll come up to ride.

My temp gauge has the same mannerisms it's normal

[TimR]

Agree with everuone thus far on the temp gauge behavior is normal.

[ST eater]

Same with mine, normal here also.

Yeah the guy I Was with couldnt, or I would have stayed today as well and returned monday.  We got pretty wet the last two days but we did 250-300mi each day.  No problems.

Good to hear.  I Was going to assume as such unless something went wrong otherwise
