Some like it hot

[greenman]

Summer came this week and I notice the MS is running at between 85 and 103C instead of the usual 71C. It also seems to be using less fuel- still runs rough but I'm resigned to it.

I also found that when stopping for fuel- a frequent event on my 160m round trip commute- the battery really struggles to turn over the hot engine. My theory is that the internal resistance of the battery increases in the high temperatures, normally it's fine.

Anyone else notice their bike running differently this week, got to be quick as summer will only last a week!

Not running differently, but hardly surprisingly my temp guage has also got up to 105 deg when in traffic. All else seems OK - except of course me tyres are looking a bit raggedy round the edges

When i went to Italy for WDW, i'm sure the oil temp was around the 120 mark in traffic, still ran fine, with no ill effects.
