I have always maintained the Bike well and i don't abuse it. I was cruising on the Highway today at about 75 MPH in 6th gear. Temperature stayed between 192 and 196 the whole ride. on days that are a little cooler it has been running around 186 - 192 on the highway. In stop and go traffic in NYC the fan will come on at 220 - 223 and shut back off at around 203. The question is.... Is my bike running warm? Please only answer if you: A. Own the same bike, either 2004 or 2005 and are giving real numbers not what you think you remember from your last ride a few weeks ago. or B. you are a Suzuki mechanic with experience working on this model. The bike has Maxima Coolinall in the cooling system in place of the factory antifreeze. If this is making the bike run warmer i would happily switch back. I could have sworn that my bike used to run around 168 on the highway instead of 186 before i changed to the coolinall a few years ago. But trust me i could be being dyslexic.

Most all bikes will run the temps that you recorded.On a 70 degree day that bike will run from 172-178 degrees.On 80 degree days it will run178-186 degrees.On 90 degree days it will run 186-200 degrees.On 100 degree daysit will run187-200degees. All of these are at cruising speed,so when you are in town doing stop and go the temp will soar because the only air going through the system is by your cooling fan. The only time I have seen a lower temp was in October and november in the real cool weather here in Michigan.
