Does the air cooled suzuki engine run hot?

Question

i'm looking at buying a 2006 suzuki katana 600. they are air cooled engines and i'm afraid that the heat in texas would possibly make the bike run hot or burn up.

Answer 1

They ride them in Australia...     100degrees F  plus.. & no problems..........

Answer 2

it's true it will run hotter then the typical liquid cooled one would, but the engine is designed to gain sufficient cooling from air alone, it wouldn't face the same problems a liquid cooled engine with low or no fluid would experience.....

in short, even in texas it will be fine.

Answer 3

no check your coolent and thermostat isnt sticking
