Cold/cool weather water cooled scooter temp gauge not moving up
« on: December 14, 2020, 04:08:44 PM »
Some cooler weather here, TN. Noticed scooter temp gauge not moving up, even after 5 miles or so of running.  NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT!!  Just is---My 4 Helix, ReFlex, and 2 new SilverWing 600's did it.   So not to worry with XTown 300i.  Helix even used in WI below Zero F weather...great feature always started after night out in the cold!

Noticed the same with mine John.  In cold weather it can take 10 miles before the temp moves from one block to two.
Regards & ride safe,

Adding to original post.....all of the scooters mentioned were purchased new---ridden and left alone, all ridden out of my goal of 50,000 miles...and get rid of---all except ReFlex--total at 23,000 miles, run over by lady on cellphone at stop sign.
