Coolant Temperature Question

[DakotaBlue]

I finally got to ride yesterday. Put on about 60 miles. Riding up in Hancock/Houghton, MI. Should the coolant temp be in the 3/4 position on the bar display? Just wondering if she is running to hot. This is my first four stroke and just wanted to ask the question.

Set your display to read actual temp by pressing and holding the temp button then you can see actual readings. Mine runs 162-167 on the trail and will jump to 190-195 at idle.

I have about 140 miles in mine. Temp reads around 160 to 165 degrees while riding. The temp does climb at idle and the fan kicks on around 190. Not sure where exactly that is on the bar

Which button is the temp button??

Which button is the temp button??

It should be then lower left button. Press and hold it and the number read out will appear in the bar.

I believe you press and hold lower left button and it will show temp in the bar display

I'll try that as soon as I get to the fuse box and get my gauge to work again.
