Hey guys just bought my first bike. Its a 2001 600f4I with 16,000 miles on it. I was riding in the evening and my temp went up to 220 degrees. The mannual said a warning light will come on at around 257. I was wondering if this is normal or shood I take it in. Thanks :hshot

That is normal, your fan should come on around 223 or 224. In traffic in will get up to that. Mine runs at 225 or 226 the fan brings it down. If you get into the 230 then I would get it checked but if it doesn't go over 226 it is working right.

Thanks I was getting scared

while riding i have never been able to get mine over 200, idling is when it creeps up

While ridding mine is 210 and below

Mine gets about 220 also, but i live in southwest texas. it gets "HOT"! here. Never goten any hoter then that.

i agree w/everyone else, on the road. but when i had mine, after i was done w/15 or so laps on the track, that sucker was easily over 200 every time. i never did ask if that was normal though. hmm, not my problem now :lol

i got an 02 cbr 600 f4i with 8000 miles on it, the fans kicks around 225. even in traffic on a hot day i dont think i've ever seen it get any hotter then 228 or so

my 02 F4i book says shut down temp is 251 or higher...

Same as everyone else...if it got to 245 or so and I was waiting at a long light I'd shut her off.

As long as I'm moving at 45+, the bike is around 180.

If I'm sitting it'll climb. Fan kicks in around 225, brings it down to about 220.
