Ok, I've just bought the bike and it's overheating in really heavy traffic, (owners manual says this can happen) as far as I can tell only one of the two radiator fans are kicking in. Are these fans supposed to work independently in any way or do I get on to the dealears?

According to the FZ1 forums, there's a separate fuse for each fan, might be worth checking them first.

By overheating, does it have a temp gauge? I've seem 110+ on my older Triumph Daytona which I thought was fucking mental, but given my GSXR gets to 105, its probably OK Laughing

It starts flashing a warning at about 117c at which point the owners manual says stop and let it cool down a bit, over 140c it's switch off and start praying. This bike runs seriously hot by design, like you said, fucking mental. Still, should be nice in winter.

I was fairly certain is was a fan failure since I had that on the FZS600, so I didn't stop, instead went into filtering berserk mode to get some air flow through the rad, which got me home.
