bike getting quite hot

[AshWebster]

my 16 plate 600RR seems to be getting quite hot in the sun at a standstill (traffic), around 106/7 degrees. is this normal/acceptable?

any info appreciated

Can you hear the cooling fan come on?
It is under warranty as well.

The fan should come on and then the temperature should start declining. It's a couple of degrees higher than I'd like to see peak, but I wouldn't worry about it (much) if it starts coming down to ~100 again after the fan comes on.

If it continues to climb as you make slow progress through heavy traffic, I'd talk to your dealer.

If it were my bike, I'd check the levels in the coolant overflow reservoir.

thanks for the replies -

the fan does come on, but only at 106 ish, and then yes the temp starts to decline - reason I asked was I thought surely the fan should come on earlier than this

ill check the coolant levels tonight just in case

Over 115 has been seen on my old 600 Daytona.

It's 'cos it's hot outside and petrol is exploding in the engine with fire and stuff.

Cheers for that link - definitely shed some light. Long as I'm not hitting 115 seems the bike is operating ok, and the levels are fine.
