2000 Triumph TT 600. Bought it last Friday. Noticed when the engine warms up she's running at around 200-210 degrees. Is this on the high side? If so, any suggestions?

My 2003 Speed Four runs around 190 when I am in motion but if I stop at a light for anytime it will get up to that temperature or higher. I read an article in Motorcyclist that they tend to run hot. It hasn't seen to be a problem yet on mine.

my 2001 tt600 runs at 180 in motion and 200 plus in traffic. that seems to be the norm. my fan doesnt kick in till 225.

hope that helps

I use Redline Water Wetter to help keep temps down - plus anti-freeze is not legal at most tracks. The water wetter has had an effect in lowering temps by 10-20 degrees. My S4 still scorches my thighs on hot days... Just the nature of the beast.

I have pretty much the same experience: 170 on the freeway, over 200 on local streets in traffic, and the fan kicks in at 225. A friend with a Honda CBR has the same experience, so looks like 600 cc inline fours may run under the same conditions.

Not to worry.

Thanks for the input guys. I feel better knowing this is the norm.
