Oil temperatures Just out of curiousity, what would you say a "normal" working temp be on a 900SS? Today was the first good day that I have been able to have a long ride and the temp got to 110º. Is that normal? Thanks in advance. Colin. |
I've got a 750SS that I've only had for a month or so. Therefore I don't really know what the "normal" operating temp is. However, I've heard from various other people that the temp gauges can get up to the 3/4 mark, which seems quite hot, but they don't actually go into the "red" and overheat. This is just heresay though. I've not had a chance to see for myself yet. |
On a hot day you are more likely to see the temp gauge creep up, especially in traffic.When in Spain last year I was quite concerned when my 900 went close to the red mark only cause i was stationary waiting to board the ferry.I turn the engine of if it looks like i will be stationary for any lenght of time. Fordie;) |
i've got a 900sl, and have had it for a year now. i too had this panic when the weather started to get a bit hot. the temperature gauge use to get so close to the red that i use to get the bike home as soon as i could to let it cool off, affraid it might just blow. relax, it's normal for it to get that hot, specially during the summer. i noticed the idle would climb slightly, but it never overheated. not even when stuck in london traffic, during a very hot day.

Colin, that sounds high for "oil" temperature. I was using my 996 on a trackday yesterday (<28C) and noticed that the oil temperature didn't get above 85. Do you mean water temperature? |
Remember SS's are air/oil cooled David. What sort of temperature do you see on your 900 Monster? That might be about the same? Probably a bit cooler 'cos hot air won't get trapped in the fairing like a 900SS probably does at a standstill. |
I was waiting to see who would find my deliberate mishtek. As regards the M900, I'm really not sure about engine temp because I automatically switch that display to clock mode. Basically, no help at all - now where's my coat! |
Still wondering :) Anyways I do not have a red line, just increments up to 150 degrees. |
Colin, I was out on a 90 minute run on my Monster this morning and paid attention to the OIL temp for you. The maximum it reached was 96C but I didn't get caught in any traffic. I'm sure that it would have gone well over 100C if it was stop/start riding in this weather. |
Thx, I too had a blat on the A339 Basingstoke to Alton and back with varying degrees of traffic and it didn't go much over 100. I will take this as normal then considering the ambient temperature today. Must go out and play again :D |
