How hot does your ZXR 250 run?

**qwertydog** · 8th April 2010, 23:42

I'm interested to know where other peoples ZXR's sit on the temperature gauge, mine seems to be running quite cold (ie. sits just above the first line over the blue). I'll put up a pic of the gauge tomorrow

Is this normal? Or thermostat? Or something else.

Thanks

Hi
My sons '89 used to run fairly cold on the temp guage

I've had a couple, both indicated cool on the gauge and pretty much rarely kicked in the electric fan.

It's normal. They hardly get above the first line after blue.

Thanks for the replies, it had me worried there for a sec

mine which has forced air intake, can get hot if im pissing around in town, but once you get going for a bit it tends to cool down pretty quick

Its the hot side you have to worry about!

Does the guage move (past where it starts when you? turn it on)?

When I turn it on and its warming up the gauge goes up to just inside the "normal" range and doesn't really get higher than that. Unless its sitting in heavy traffic, it would go up and the fan would come on, but generally it sits just inside the "normal" range.

I know it's not good to stress a cold engine, so just checking. It's probably just my feather fingers!

Mine does the same, moves slightly from the blue area however just like JR1, mulling around in traffic mine starts to get hot but yeah once warm she's all good!
