2007 z1000 Temperature

[logspec12]

Anybody know what the usual temperature should be when idling after riding for about an hour? Mine went up to 208 degrees. What's the max temp I should worry about?

my 04 will range around there when it has sat at idle for a bit,but IMO it is normal.
the problem will arise when you don't hear the fan kick on somewhere near that temp.

NO WORRIES.

I've had mine go up as high as 220*F at idle when the ambient temps were close to or above 100*F. My bike hovers between 190* to 210*F most of the time when the ambient temps are between 70* to 90*F.

Taken from my '07 Owner's Manual:

*If the coolant temperature rises to 115*C (239*F) and below 120*C (248*F), the numerical value of the current coolant temperature starts flashing. This warns the operator the collant temperature is high

*If the coolant temperature rises to above 120*C (248*F), "HI" is displayed and starts flashing. This warns the operator tht the coolant temperature is too high; stop the engine and check the coolant level in the reserve tank after the engine cools down.



You're not even close to having to worry.

Idling? That's about right. It's hard to keep an engine cool with no airflow. But 208 isn't bad. When it gets above 230, then you can start worrying.
