It was running at 170 down the interstate which was great of course but when I started down some back roads the temperature started to climb into the 180's then 190's, back down to the 180's and it kept up that scenario for a while. What concerned me was when I began stopping in traffic and the fan would come on (215-220 on my bike), which is normal but then it never cooled off when moving again, staying in the high 190's to 200 range. The further I rode the less and less the bike was cooling off. So I checked the radiator inlet for a goose or some other obstruction
but it was clear as was the radiator core. So I narrowed it down to a sensor or t stat. I can test the t stat not so much the sensor.
