I was riding through the woods. Slowly. Last weekend an it was about 60 degrees put and mine kept coming on too. I thought it was unusual too. But seeing yours is song the same. It's probably normal

Alright that's about the same temp I was riding in maybe a tad colder. It must be the liquid cooled feature. I really didnt think about it at the time but it makes compleat since. Either way I'm gonna add a temp guage it wouldnt hurt.

Thats normal for low speed riding,mine does the same. Probably wouldn't hurt to flush with the hose around the radiator just for the **** of it. From what I understand our fan switch comes on at a lower temp than a lot of the other brands.

my fan ran the whole time i was riding a few weeks ago. i was in 1-3' of snow and working it hard. it never got hot enough to light up the dummy light.

yesterday it came on a few times but its liquid cooled and it keeps it at the proper temp.

I have a 2012 and I was curious about this as well. Mine comes on more then my friends 2010 but I haven't over heated so i'm sure its normal.

I would check and see if your radiator is topped off. Sometimes they will come a little low and cause this.

when i bought mine and was riding it nice i noticed that too, then i put my purse aside and started working it hard and the cycle stays about the same. +1 for making a bike that can keep itself at temp. (if that makes sense lol)



oh i did the rad relocate just cause the less clogging and better protection against hidden sticks etc.
