What is the normal temp that a 2005 CBR600RR should be running at?

Question

It runs between 185-215 when warmed up. Is this normal?

Answer 1

it's normal...if you sit in long traffic it can go 225~230 that's when it's REALLY hot and boarderlining over heat~ ... I'd just take the emergency lane or skip over to the HOV lane to keep moving

Answer 2

That sounds about right If you are talking fahrenheit, but quite hot if celsius.  The temp gauge should have a "red zone" or if there is no gauge there should be a warning light.  Those should tell you the situation.

for reference, I happen to remember that my 86 ninja thermostat opened at around 160 F, 73 C (thermostat would open when almost fully warmed up)  and my 85 eliminator coolant warning light comes on at 248 F, 120 C

So once again, if youre talking fahrenheit you should be OK, but if you're talking Celsius you should have noticed your body panels melting into a pool around your bike.

Answer 3

That sounds about right. For my 2000 ZX9R the fan doesn't kick on till 215 and the overheating light is supposed to kick on around 240.
