100 F showing on temp. display? - Yamaha FZ6 Forums - International FZ6 Motorcycle Community Forum

chuckfz6ryder · 07-30-2008, 03:18 PM

I was riding last evening, did my normal quick look at the displays, and saw I was reading 100 degrees F, and it wasn't changing. I normally see from 175-185 during my normal cruising. I waited awhile, no change. While riding, I had to turn the key off/on, restarted the bike, and read 183 right away. I know I wasn't in any danger of overheating, my fan almost never needs to run, but if I was sitting in traffic and this happened I wonder how hot it may have gotten and would the fan kick on, or would I overheat? Just wondering if anyone else has seen 100 displayed?

It might have been displaying the Air Intake temp. If you press reset you can toggle between Air Intake temp and Coolant temp. When you turn the bike on it automatically shows the Coolant temp. That might explain it.

i agree,,i think that was the air intake temp,,,when you restart it automatically starts reading the normal temp

That must not be a feature on the 2005 bikes... :-(

Thanks, you're probably right. I had gassed up and reset the trip, but likely hit reset again and didn't notice.

I think the 100 got me worried, had it been 92 or something odd, I might not have immediately thought "glitch"

I suspect the pre 07's only get WATER temp. High AIR temp is kinda irrelevant to the bike, though it does make the nut behind the wheel sweat.
