Has the light come on during high way cruising?
No, never has come on during highway riding. I think I figured it out. Im pretty sure I do not have an overheating issue. I think it is just a design flaw or something.
So just this morning I did the normal. Rode about 35 miles highway, 5 miles in the city. Weather was about 70F or so. I was able to make it to the parking garage without the overheat light coming on, this was due to no traffic and I was able to cruise all the way to my work. Once I got to the parking garage I let the bike idle in neutral and this is what happened:
The bike was idling about 3 minutes or so and the overheat light came on. It took the fan about 15~ seconds to come on. The fan stayed on for about 2~ minutes or so. The whole time the fan is on, the overheat light remains on. Once the fan shuts off about 5~ seconds afterwards the overheat light goes off. I kept the bike idling....about 2 minutes later the overheat light came back on and the exact sequence occured again. I did this 3 times. Same sequence. Light goes off AFTER the fan has been on for about 2 mintues.
One of you guys want to see if that same sequence happens with your bike? What baffles me is why is the light coming on when the cooling system seems to be doing its job, and the light goes off AFTER the fan is on for 2 minutes
