Thanks for all the replies.
It is indeed a new engine, 1000km. It's in at the shop atm getting the first service done. I'm getting a bunch of extras done also like braided lines, and replace coolant, just to make sure it's nice and clean inside.
Mine gets to 3 bars and fans running within 5 mins. In any kind of traffic it goes to full bars quickly and stays there. I've also heard that coolan is the key. Thanks for the tip. That's an impressive reduction. I'll see if those products are avail in oz. Do you use any water or is it 100% coolant?
In the old site there was much discussion of changing to ZX10 fender as it helped on the highway. changing fan blades to metal, replacing the fan with a larger unit, adding an extra fan etc.
I'll try the different coolant and let you know my observations.
Hub, an academic question for you. If 240-260°F is the optimum temp for peak performance, does that mean (by extension) that reducing the temp with more effective cooling could reduce the power output?
Thanks
