hotness
 

how hot does ur 749 run?
i ride in london and it likes to go over 100. Filtering thru jams on motorways - goes over 100 again! makes it kinda warm...
is this normal?

Mate, you could try changing your anti-freeze. A higher portion of EG will help to increase your cooling capacity.

Yes,especially with the high ambient temperatures we are having at the mo.
Coming back from RTL on the A1 yesterday the airtemp said 30degrees.Cruising along the road the bikes temp was 75-80deg.We later hit a bit of a traffic jam and the temp soon shot up to 100.

I seriously find the heat a bit disconcerting...especially in the temeratures that we have had recently:(

yeah me too, i am still very young, and worried that my sperms are getting barbequed, dont wanna loose them! also i get a wet patch on the arse, looks gay i think.

had a steady run out last week for a hour to find fans on & temp was 106. no traffic or stopping ither.

Only up to a 50 / 50 mix at maximum, after that the increased anti-freeze content can have an adverse effect.

when its hot like now mines runs up to 105 in traffic.

errrr, my 748 hits over 180 in traffic.......maybe I'm reading the speedo??

Normal temp is 68-72 but on RTL last weekend it was 77-80 and at one point sitting in traffic it reached 104,thats hot
