To start I need to say that I have no way of telling how hot mine runs, except for the idiot gauge.
While on the HWY going up a hill I was in 3rd as the rpm's were climbing over 4000. I had to shift up cause it was sounding like it was winding out hard core. I don't remember ever even getting mine up to 5000 rpm. That's even in 5th doing 120kmh. It is over 4000rpm at that speed, but I really don't feel like pushing it any more. Sounds like it will explode..lol
As for the temp, my awesome stock gauge is at the half way point all the time, no matter what speed. In town or on the HWY
Do I have a heating problem??
The temps around here vary from mid 30's C, (low 90's F) and down. This is summer time hot as it gets heat...lol.
I know you get a lot hotter than this. So then why am I getting so hot then?
I also, the other day, coasted down that same hill (it's a long one) that I went up in 3rd on and had to shift up, and the temp never changed. i thought it would go down as I was coasting at about 90kmh with 1500 rpm roughly.
hmmm...got me wondering.

Anyhow..That's my little tale.
