Is it just my RC390 or "Do They All Do That?"
It seems my RC runs just at the verge of the fan kicking on. Easy ride on country roads on a 80 Degree F day. I was being a good boy and keeping the RPM below 7K. The temperature gauge was just below the break in the bars. Whenever I would come to a stop sign, the fan would turn on in a matter of a few seconds. Sometimes it would turn on while I was still moving if I was doing a slow coast waiting for a car or two in front of me to clear the intersection. It is annoying. Other water cooled motorcycles I owned run well below the fan start temperature. My Aprilia (with a digital readout and an analog gauge) would run 30 degrees F below the fan operating point. Even on hotter days. It would only come on if I was stuck in stop and go traffic on a hot day during a rush hour commute.
