CBR250RR heating up

[Sketchy_Racer]

what you did was take the coolant drain screw out, but let me guess, you didnt undo the Rad cap when you were trying to drain it? Nope

by squeezing the hose you pumped the coolant out, but by only refilling the resivor, the rad is still empty. fill the radioator back up. The cap is under the tank.

Good luck

when riding mine normally, and stopping at the lights, the heat needle seems to stay at just over 1/2 way.

I've noticed that whenever i'm stuck in traffic or in slow traffic i.e 20-30km/h my CBR250RR start heating up. Is this normal?

yeh mate, mine did this aye. gave me a frieght the first time.
but i guess you noticed as soon as you start moving it drops pretty quick

lol same, Spooked me abit, but it makes sense. Engine is hot, but is being cooled by air pass over it. Stop, the air stops cooling, heat goes up abit. But aslong as your fan works and u have coolent in your radiator, you should be safe

sorry to dig this up, but where does the fan kick in, or should do. I remember the 1st day i got it, the fan was on, but i havn't seen it on since. Also what is normal temp for going around town? after I got off the m-way this nippy morning it was on the 'M'

cheers

From my experience, the fan kicked in once the temp needle was only about 2mm from heading off the end of the "normal" line.

Considering the needle would sit at about 1/3 of the way up when moving, it was a bit unnerving to see the needle heading up past 2/3. But once the fan kicked in the gauge only went down.

trackdays in 30 degree heat had my 250 very hot! I have since used "CoolAid" which is distributed by forbes and davies and the temps have been alot lower. Its a non gycol based product for racing, has no anti freeze properties but has anti rusting properties. very good stuff and recommended
