As mentioned in another post, I have got the 750 back.
I don't think the running temperature is correct though, so I'm just looking for some thoughts on the matter. I will list my querys below, also when i got it I replaced the temperature sender on the cylinder head as it was knacked and also the radiator fan temp sender as that wasn't working either.
1. Years ago, when I used to run a 750 regularly the running temperature was always on 90 degrees, with the needle at '12 o clock'.
2. The current blue 750 is running at 95 or 100, the needle is on the first white marker after 90 degrees.
3. In stationary traffic the needle goes up very quickly.
4. It goes just before the red with the radiator fan kicking in and stays there. It doesn't cool down, then heat up, then cool down, then heat up and so on.
5. Once I get into free flowing traffic again it takes a good ten minutes or so to get back to the running temperature of the first white bar after 90 degrees, as mentioned above.
My thoughts are maybe that the radiator is knackered/blocked and restricting water flow, thus prolonging the cooling time....
Anybody else have any thoughts?
